8.2.5.1 DIP Switch Setting on FPG-COM4
There are two DIP switches on the cassette which must be set for RS485 connections:
• switch SW1-1 to set the terminating resistor on the first and on the last station
• switch SW1-2 to set the baud rate
For RS485 connections (COM port 1), the baud rate must be set in the system registers and
with the DIP switch. (For RS232C connections, the baud rate is only set in the system
registers.) For PLC Link, the baud rate must be set to 115200bit/s.
