2.2 Controlled mode
In controlled mode, each operation of a DLS-C(H)/FLS-C(H) is triggered by a command sent from a host system over a serial line. While a
single device can be connected to the host system using the RS232 interface, up to 10 devices can be connected to a single serial RS422 line.
The related command set is described in Chapter 8 on page 20.
2.2.1 Configuration
After connecting the module, the steps below are necessary to configure the DLS-C(H)/FLS-C(H) for the controlled interface mode.
No.

1
Set ID switch
Changes to the module ID are activated after a
power cycle.
Example for module 0:
Change the ID Switch to position 0
Set ID switch to position 0
Power OFF; Wait 10s; Power ON

Note:
If the communication parameters of the module are lost, please reset the configuration to the factory settings (7 Factory
settings on page 19) using the reset button (5.2 Reset switch on page 16). Please note that the ID switch must be reset
manually.
2.2.2 Host software
Host software is required for operation of the DLS-C(H)/FLS-C(H) in controlled mode. When connecting multiple devices to a single serial line
(RS422), strict Master-Slave communication must be implemented (DLS-C(H)/FLS-C(H) operates as slave). For software sample-code or
application-notes please consult our web site
www.dimetix.com
.
Careful testing of the host software together with the devices prior to installation is strongly recommended.
