MASI65-M12 User's manual
22 V 1.1
According to the standard specifications, addresses can be assigned from 1 to 31.
For systems conforming to the extended specifications (up to 62 slaves) the available address range is
from 1A to 31A and 1B to 31B.
The installation of an appropriate master is required when using AS-Interface
systems conforming to the extended specifications !
In a system you can generally operate simultaneously slaves conforming to
standard specifications and slaves conforming to the specifications.
Is this case, standard slaves are identified as slaves of type 'A' by the master.
The same address that is not used in group 'B' is no more available.
New slaves that are not yet addressed are always allocated to the address 0. Although they have been
recognized by the master, they are not included into the communication process.
When replacing a slave while the system is operating (maintenance, repair, etc.) it is automatically allo-
cated to the address 0 by the master (ÄChapter 2.8 Automatic configuration).
