C.1.3 Setup baud rate / device address
Baud rate
Factory default: 9600 baud
Address settings
It is possible to set the network address of the device using the AD command. (Address range between 0
and 255). Setting the device address to 0 will set the continuously active mode, where the device becomes
permanently active, and will listen and respond to any command on the bus, without the need for an OP xxx
command.

C.1.4 Getting Started
You will require a:
•
PC or PLC with either a RS422 or RS485 communication port.
•
If using a PC/PLC with RS232 port, an RS422/485 to RS232 converter will be required.
•
Interconnecting cabling - confirm that all relevant pins used – See the wiring diagram at the end of this
section.
•
A load cell / scale with test weights or a load cell simulator.
•
A 12-25 V DC power supply capable of delivering approximately 150 mA for each DAS 72.1 and load cell.
•
One or more DAS 72.1.
•
A suitable ASCII communication software *.
Refer to the wiring diagram on page 26.
* You can easily communicate between a PC and a DAS 72.1 using programs such as Procomm, Telemate,
Kermit or HyperTerminal (included in Windows).
Also, the DOP software with graphical user interface and oscilloscope function is now available on request
(Windows 98/2000/XP).
