DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
The DIP switches on the FPC-FD2 and FPC-CD2 allow users to set the Baud Rate, Node-ID, and MAC address on the
Field RS-485 protocol as well as to automatically download configuration files for certain protocols. They can be
enabled on request before the unit ships from the FieldServer’s factory or in the field by editing the configuration
file. (Refer to the ProtoCessor Configuration Manual).
If the FPC-FD2 is used with the FPC-CD2, the DIP switches on the FPC-CD2 must be used. The switches
on the FPC-FD2 are disabled
.
The DIP switch settings are the same for FPC-FD2 and FPC-CD2
