9.1 Slave
ATR621-13ABC-T can operate as slave unit setting on parameter 77
: this function allows to control multiple controllers connected to a
supervisory system. Each instrument will answer to a Master query only if
it contains same address as on parameter 80 . Allowed addresses are
1 to 254 and there should not be controllers with the same address on the
same line. Address 255 can be used by the Master to communicate with all
connected devices without knowing their addresses (broadcast mode), whi-
le with address 0 all devices receive command, but no answer is expected.
ATR621 can introduce an answer delay (in milliseconds) to Master request.
This delay has to be set on parameter 81 . At each parameters modi
cation, instrument stores values in EEPROM memory (100000 writing cycles).
NB: Modi cations made to Words di erent from those described in the fol-
lowing table can lead to instrument malfunction.
