6.10 Setting the Address without an I/O Controller Board
The address of the IF-80x terminal is set via the RS485 data cable when an I/O controller board without an
address switch is used.
Once the terminal is connected to the controller, it responds with host address 8.
Set the address of the terminal with a Telnet connection via the controller as follows:
Set up the connection to the controller with Telnet.
1. Use the command
cfg
to retrieve the terminal number.
Example:
cfg
-> address 8 has been set.
Enter the command:
etp <address> -cx
The controller responds with TC-->ET(8)=
Then, the command 34xxyy is sent directly to the terminal.
Example: Address 1:
xx = New address A (uppercase) corresponds to 41(Hex)
xx = New address a (lowercase) corresponds to 61(Hex)
The command for setting address 1 is: 344161
Correspondingly for address 2: 344262 (see table).
Via a warm boot (command 55), the terminal then recognizes its new address.
After approximately 10 seconds, the terminal is ready for operation and can be checked via the cfg
command.
Make sure that an address is not used twice.
The address must be within the address range of the controller (IF-4070).
