SLAVE ADDRESS
Path: / CONFIGS COMM-PARAM PORT-3 SLAVE-ADDRESS
Type: Data Editor
Syntax: SLAVE-ADDRESS [= n] | [D]
Range: Integer: 0 .. 31
Notes: SLAVE ADDRESS is the address of this unit (a slave, controlled) on the multi-drop
RS-485 bus. There are a maximum of 32 addresses, ranging from 0 to 31. On the
bus, the actual ASCII value used for addressing is the address assigned here plus
the value of the parameter ADDRESS OFFSET.
ADDRESS OFFSET
Path: / CONFIGS COMM-PARAM PORT-3 ADDRESS-OFFSET
Type: Data Editor
Syntax: ADDRESS-OFFSET [= n] | [D]
Range: Integer: 0 .. 224
Notes: ADDRESS-OFFSET is the offset added to the multi-drop bus address of a device to
determine the ASCII value needed to be used on the bus.
Example:
ADDRESS-OFFSET is 48 (ASCII for '0')
MASTER-ADDRESS is ‘0’
SLAVE-ADDRESS is ‘1’
In the above example the ASCII value on the RS-485 multi-drop bus would be 48
(ASCII for '0') for the master, and 49 (ASCII for '1') for the slave.
