Control Panel Reference
Panel Address (10BPS and MCBP panels)
The RS485 standard allows up to 32 communicating devices
to be on a single bus. Each device must be assigned a unique
address from 0 through 31. The Panel Number switch on back
of the BPS control panel assigns it an address. If a segment is
down on the side closest to the silkscreened 0, it adds no value
to the address total. If a segment is down on the side closest to
the silkscreened number from 1 to 16, it adds that value to the
address total. The lower a panel’s address, the higher its
priority. The switch is illustrated below.
