The first of probably a few questions. Sorry for my ignorance as I try to get things set up. I just installed my P4 yesterday. Calibrated and installed all probes with no issue. I am having a problem with my 3 powerbar's switches working independently though. Through GCC when I turn off or on a particular numbered socket that numbered socket goes off on all 3 powerbars. How do I get them to work independently? i.e., powerbar 1 is sockets 1-5, powerbar 2 is sockets 6-10, and powerbar 3 is sockets 11-15? If it is even relevant, the order they are connected is powerbar 1 then 2 then Doser 2.1, then the 3rd powerbar with the touch screen last.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Rob

Did you assign the sockets on GCC?

Open GCC - Click on System - Click on the + sign next to PAB - Select one of your 3 Powerbars then click configure.

Should look like this

Your first powerbar should be 1 though 5 for the second for socket # type 6 and it should change to 6-10 for the remaining sockets. Do the same for powerbar #3 but for socket #1 type 11

Under the System tab I have the options of Communication, Switch channels and outlets, 1-10V interface, and Digital input. Am I supposed to be seeing my 3 PowerBar? If so I am not.
Thanks.

As Reefer525XL mentioned.

Tap> System- Select each individual Powerbar 5.1 [Configuration]
(1) Powerbar 1-5
(2)Powerbar 6-10
(3)Powerbar 11-15

Don't open the sub-menu for system. Just click on System

Yeah, I got it now. Thanks again for the help. I'm sure I'll be back at some point for something else along the way. Very appreciative!
