G1  Introduction to AC500  1-50  AC500 / Issued: 07.2006 
 
Setting of the Slave Address of the FBP plug onto the AC500 CPU (if needed, but 
not recommended) 
Normally the FBP slave address is set using the AC500 Control Builder. Neverthless it is possible to set 
this address using the CPU. 
The FieldBusPlug must have a properly assigned slave module address. The AC500 CPU gives them an 
address at system power-up. The address can be set with the use of the display and the pushbutton on 
the top of the module. 
 Attention: The local setting of an FBP address by means of pushbuttons and display has a 
higher priority than an FBP address configured by the AC500 Control Builder! 
 
The locally set address replaces the address configured by the software. 
 
It is highly recommended to be extremely careful when modifying the address locally, because it has 
high influence on the behaviour of the application. 
Up to 99 addresses can be then set with the display.
