First, check the capacity of the power supply. The power supply capacity must be greater than
the sum of the maximum current consumed by all devices to be connected to Fieldbus. The
maximumcurrentconsumed(powersupplyvoltage9Vto32V)forthisproductis15mA.
The cable used for the spur must be of the minimum possible length.

The PD tag is the same as the conventional one used for the device. Up to 32 alphanumeric
charactersmaybeusedfordenition.Useahyphenasadelimiterasrequired.
The node address is used to specify devices for communication purposes. Because this
data is too long for the PD Tag, the host uses the node address in place of the PD Tag for
communication.Therangeof20to247(orfrom14toF7inhexadecimalnotation)canbeset.
