II. Synoptic of communication
The SYCLOPE ALTICE’O ® controllers have been created to be connected together to a
high tech supervisor in local or distant mode. Many controllers can be connected together
in different concepts.
1) Local connection with "AltiCom" maintenance software.
Connection of one or more SYCLOPE ALTICE’O ® controllers via the RS485 BUS.
To connect your SYCLOPE ALTICE’O ® controller to your computer, we offer a USB / RS485
interface module.

Designation
INF1021
USB 485 converter
2) Connection between SYCLOPE EVASION®controller and OPTILIGHT®probe.
Connection to the SYCLOPE ALTICE’O ® and one or two OPTILIGHT®probes.
The « master » controller is able to drive one or two Optilight probes through the RS485
bus and to transfer pH and chlorine values to the probe for internal computations to
read a real value of cyanuric acid (stabilizing of chlorine).

3) Remote connection to mysyclope.com
The SYCLOPE ALTICE’O®controller No. 1 (MASTER) is connected to the Internet via
GPRS / IP / WIFI on mysyclope.com and acts as a gateway to communicate with other
systems connected to the RS485 BUS
In order to connect your SYCLOPE ALTICE’O®to the Internet we offer several connection KIT.

III. Internal Modem Connections
1) Connections of MODEMS GSM, GPRS, Wifi and Ethernet
The SYCLOPE ALTICE’O®can receive different types of modem to establish communications with the
"mysyclope.com" website.
Depending on the type of modem and the connection to the Internet, the data are transmitted to the
"mysyclope.com" site and thus allow real-time management of the operation of the SYCLOPE
ALTICE’O®. Alert messages can be sent to users via emails or SMS and a history of measurements and
alerts is recorded.
2) MODEMS connections on the internal board
The "Modem Sockets" are sold as an option and must be inserted in the appropriate slot as shown in
the diagram below. The wiring is dependent on the type of modem.
Socket Modem location for GSM, Wifi or Ethernet communication.

Communcation port: Press left and right arrows to select the physical output of
your controller on which the master is connected.
Speed: Press left and right arrows to change the communication speed on the bus.
Parity: Press left and right arrows to select the parity of the data exchange.
Stop Bit(s): Information about the configuration of the data frame. This part is not
modifiable and depends on the selected parity.
Address: Use the arrows to select the Modbus address of your SYCLOPE
ALTICE’O®controller.
Be careful to respect the Speed - Parity - Bit (s) of stop on your interrogation system.
The Modbus of the SYCLOPE ALTICE’O®regulator is systematically on a 10Bit frame with
8Bits of Data, 1 or 2 Bit (s) of stop according to the chosen parity

5) Programming the Communication
a) Local communication in ModBus RTU
This part makes it possible to modify the port, the speed, the
parity as well as the number (ModBus address) of the controller.
These configurations correspond to the "CONFIGURATION -
MODBUS " directly accessible on the controller.
WARNING: If you change these options after reprogramming the
controller, you will need to change the communication
configuration of the "AltiCom" software so that you can
communicate with the controller again.
