6.1.1 DIP switch
The FBA module (Fieldbus Activation Module) and all of the integrated functional safety modules (FSM 2.0) are equipped with
a DIP switch (8 poles). Under certain conditions, substantial parts of the parameters of the fieldbus communication can be
configured with the aid of this DIP switch. Depending on the fieldbus that is used, it is possible, for example, to adjust the
fieldbus node number, baud rate, etc. This DIP switch does not have a safety-relevant function.
 If all of the switches on the module are set to zero (factory setting), the fieldbus communication parameters of the
parameter data set of the basic device will be used.
The position of the DIP switch is read in only once after a reset. Modifications of the switch positions during
the operation, therefore, do not affect the current operation.

The control of EtherCAT via the DIP switches is not planned. If the EtherCAT fieldbus technology module is used, the bus will
be switched on automatically.
