Apex Module set up

stpauli914 · 12/14/2017, 01:39 PM

I have a large Apex system(Multiple modules, EB8's etc.). I am doing a major overhaul on my wiring and will be disconnecting everything completely then rehooking everything back up. Will all my modules, EB8's etc. be recognized again regardless of how the Aquabus cables are run as long as all the modules are connected or will I have to re-program everything and have a lot of new modules added to Fusion that I will have to figure out which are the new ones and which are the old ones?

I hope this makes sense

As long as the same modules are connected, everything will stay the same. I have gone through a major reorganization like this several times without any issues. It never hurts to have a backup of your configuration.

And no, they do not have to be connected in the same order as they are now.

Make sure EVERYTHING is up to date firmware wise.

If a module is not up to date, it CAN jump addresses.
