The Address command is used to specify the interface or when connected to the host in a
multidrop configuration to set the address to which the TCS responds.
In RS-485, the address determines when and if the TCS is allowed to transmit over the
communication link. It also determines whether commands sent by the host take effect on a given
TCS. The address is encoded to avoid confusion with other codes crossing the communication
link. The numeric address as designated in the Setup Screen is added to the ASCII code
representing the character zero. The result forms the address code as it should be transmitted by
the host. Multidrop addresses and their resulting codes are as follows:
