3.  Setting a PROFIBUS node address by means of the address knobs 
The address knobs of AHRTU-PFBS-5A are used for setting the node address of AHRTU-PFBS-5A 
on a PROFIBUS-DP network. There are two address knobs. They are a knob corresponding to x16
0
, 
and a knob corresponding to x16
1
.
 
The range for one address knob is 0~F.   
The range for setting the node address is described below. 
Address  Definition 
H’1~H’7D  Valid PROFIBUS address 
H’0 or H’7E~H’FF  Invalid PROFIBUS address 
Example: If users need to set the node address of AHRTU-PFBS-5A to 26 (decimal value), they have 
to turn the knob corresponding to x16
1 
to “1” and the knob corresponding to x16
0
 to “A”.   
26 (decimal value)=1A (hexadecimal value)=1x16
1
+Ax16

. 
Points for attention: 
  If users set the node address of AHRTU-PFBS-5A when AHRTU-PFBS-5A is not supplied with 
power, they have to power AHRTU-PFBS-5A after the node address of AHRTU-PFBS-5A is set. 
  If users change the node address of AHRTU-PFBS-5A when AHRTU-PFBS-5A is powered, the 
change will not take effect immediately after the node address of AHRTU-PFBS-5A is changed, 
and it will take effect after the users cut off the power supplied to AHRTU-PFBS-5A and then 
power AHRTU-PFBS-5A again. 
  To prevent the address knobs on AHRTU-PFBS-5A from being scratched, please carefully use a 
slotted screwdriver to rotate the address knobs on AHRTU-PFBS-5A.
