MCC cabinet: adding carrier is hardware only. The P1 / J1 plug that connects from the cabinet wiring harness has pin assignments for the carrier address for the position in the cabinet. Pin 6 in the plug has a ground that shorts to the wires in the plug to identify each carrier. You only have to plug P1 and J1 together.
**J1 for C-Carrier shorts pins---NONE
**J1 for B-Carrier shorts pins---1-6 (6 is GRD FROM the individual carrier)
**J1 for A-Carrier (J1 PLUG FOR A-CARRIER IS NOT USED FOR THIS FUNCTION)
**J1 for D-Carrier shorts pins---2-6 (6 is GRD FROM the individual carrier)
**J1 for E-Carrier shorts pins---1-2-6 (6 is GRD FROM the individual carrier)
Prologics and SCC have address options for the carriers.
A great teacher, does not provide answers, but methods to teach others "How and where to find the answers"
