5.3.4.2
Target Address
Up to 9,999 devices can be uniquely addressed. In both EIA-232 and EIA-485 applications, the permissible range of values is 1 to 9999. It
is programmed into a target unit using the remote control port.
The controller sends a packet with the address of a target - the destination of the packet. When the target responds,
the address used is the same address, to indicate to the controller the source of the packet. The controller does not
have its own address.
5.3.4.3
Address Delimiter
This is the ‘forward slash’ character '
/
' (ASCII code 47).
