The device/station address is configured by turning off switch positions that add up to the desired station number. Each bit
(pin on the separate address board – P6-1 through P6-8) has a corresponding value (see table below). The RIO032 is set
to a specific device/station address by leaving particular pins on the address board’s DIP switch ungrounded, or in the Off
position.
The device/station address is calculated by totaling the bit values of the pins that are not grounded. The valid device/station
address range for the RIO032 is 1-255.
Pin # Name Description
P6-1 ADDR0 Station address bit 0 (value=1 bit)
P6-2 ADDR1 Station address bit 1 (value=2 bit)
P6-3 ADDR2 Station address bit 2 (value=4 bit)
P6-4 ADDR3 Station address bit 3 (value=8 bit)
P6-5 ADDR4 Station address bit 4 (value=16 bit)
P6-6 ADDR5 Station address bit 5 (value=32 bit)
P6-7 ADDR6 Station address bit 6 (value=64 bit)
P6-8 ADDR7 Station address bit 7 (value=128 bit)
To give the RIO032 a device address of one (1), leave the bits for the P6-1 pin (bit value=1) ungrounded (in the Off
position). Leave the remaining bits grounded (in the ON position).
Configure RIO for Learn Mode
The RIO032 features an auto configuration, or learn, mode that enables it to automatically detect baud rate and protocol
parameters and begin communicating using these parameters.
To configure the RIO for Learn mode, place all the BPS and Protocol switches in the Up (Off) position (value = 1 / TRUE).
Refer to the illustration below.
