Protocols for position value output
Leuze electronic BPS 8 103
TNT 35/7-24V
Description
AZ0 … AZ7 are the address bits. If several BPS 8 operate in an RS 485 network, an
address configuration is required. Every BPS 8 is supplied with the Standard address 81
d
.
The address assignment (Default: 81
d
) is performed using the BPS Configuration Tool
(see chapter 8.5.3 "Communication").

NOTE
RS485 network!
An MA 8-01/MA 8-02 connection unit is mandatory for the operation of the BPS 8 in an
RS485 network (see chapter 4.2 "MA 8-01 / MA 8-02 connection unit").
