Getting Started with Multi Node

This quick start guide helps you install and configure your first Multi Node network.

Symbol This guide assumes that your devices have firmware version 7.16.5 or newer. If your devices run an older firmware version, consult the user manual available on the produkt webmísto.

Co potřebujete

  • Notebook s LAN portem
  • Ethernetový kabel
  • Multi Node LAN devices (at least two)
  • Datový list (technické specifikace, součástí balení)

Jak funguje MultiNode

  • Multi Node LAN 4TE is a DIN-rail device that uses powerline communication (PLC) to send data over low-voltage síť.
  • Hlavní uzel: Centrální řídicí jednotka sítě.
  • Pravidelné uzly: Připojují se k masteru přes PLC. Běžný uzel se v případě potřeby může automaticky přepnout do role opakovače.
  • Izolace: Běžné uzly komunikují pouze s hlavním uzlem, nikoli mezi sebou navzájem.
    → Application devices (e.g., a charging station) connected to a regular node can only reach application devices connected to the master. Devices on different regular nodes cannot connect directly.
  • Hlavní uzel má vestavěný web rozhraní pro nastavení a správu; nejsou potřeba žádné další nástroje.
    Jak funguje MultiNode

Pokyny krok za krokem

  1. Naplánujte si síť
    • Úvahy o napájení: Each power rail needs a circuit breaker. You can use one breaker for both the charging station and MultiNode, or separate breakers. Multi Node is powered by L1/N, e.g., from the charging infrastructures’ mains circuit.
    • Vzdálenost: Large networks may need repeaters. Best range is up to 50 m per hop. 50–100 m may work, but over 100 m is not recommended.
    • Obvody: One three-phase circuit for all devices gives the best results. Multiple circuits cause signal loss and noise. This can be solved with repeaters or by splitting networks via Ethernet.
    • Topologie: The network self-organizes into a tree: master node is at the root, with regular nodes automatically acting as repeaters when needed.
    • Master node placement: Place it where Ethernet is easy to reach and signal paths are short. It is strongly recommended not to place it in the distribution unit.
    • Load management in EV charging scenarios: Since regular nodes connect only to the master, EV charging scenarios need careful upfront planning. For guidance, see user manual on the produkt webmísto.
  2. Elektroinstalace
    • Symbol DIN-rail mounting and proper wiring must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in compliance with standards.
    • Connect the Multi Node devices to the mains.
    • It is recommended to record each device’s serial number, MAC address, and installation location (e.g., parking spot, floor number) to support maintenance.
      Symbol You can provision the devices either before or after electrical installation, depending on what works best for your workflow.
  3. Připojte svůj notebook
    • Connect your laptop to the device you want to use as the master node, e.g., device next to the Internet gateway, with an Ethernet cable. By default, all Multi Node LAN 4TE devices start as regular nodes.
  4. Otevřete web rozhraní
    • Otevřete a web prohlížeč a zadejte: http://devolo-xxxxx.local.
    • Nahraďte xxxxx posledními 5 číslicemi sériového čísla zařízení.
  5. Run the setup wizard
    Pokyny krok za krokem
    Když otevřete web rozhraní zařízení s výchozím nastavením z výroby vás automaticky přesměruje do průvodce nastavením.
    • Klikněte na tlačítko „Vytvořit novou síť“. Tím se připojené zařízení nastaví jako hlavní.
      Pokyny krok za krokem
    • On the above screen, wait for all nodes to join the network, then click “Continue”. On the next screen shown below, enter the settings and click “Save and apply to all nodes in the network”:Pokyny krok za krokem
    • Powerline domain name: Choose a clear name for the Multi Node network to help identify it.
    • Heslo k elektrické síti: Chrání doménu elektrického vedení.
    • Semínko: A number from 0 to 59 that uniquely identifies a PLC network. It is recommended to leave this on automatic.
    • Heslo správce: Protects the Multi Node network management channel.
    • Web heslo rozhraní: Protects access to the web rozhraní.
    • After the configuration is applied to all nodes, you will be automatically redirected to the Overview, which lists all nodes in your Multi Node network as shown below. It is recommended to provide meaningful names to nodes, e.g., include a reference to physical installation location.
