In many networking environments, the node ID may also be referred to as the address . On EPL
networks, limitations apply to the node IDs that may be selected:
H
Node ID 0 (00) is reserved for special purposes and cannot be used.
H
Node IDs 1 - 239 (01 - EF) cause the node to become a ‘controlled node’, a node that will
accept commands from the manager node.
H
Node ID 240 (F0) causes the node to become the ‘manager node’, a node that will control the
timing and issue commands to controlled nodes. There must only be one manager node on
the network.
H
Node IDs 241 - 255 (F1 - FF) are reserved for special purposes and cannot be used.
For all other communication channels such as CANopen, USB and serial, the node ID is set in
software. Each channel can have a different node ID, selected using the Mint WorkBench
Connectivity Wizard or the Mint
BUSNODE
keyword. See the Mint help file for details.
