Set the Node Address
Valid node addresses are 00 through 63.
Set the node address using either the rotary switches, RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet™, DeviceNetManager™, or another software configuration
tool. Setting the switches at any number from
64 through 99 lets the
software have address control.
Each module is shipped with the switches set for node address
63.
Remove the caps on the front of the module to access the switches
(refer to the illustrations on page 1). The two switches are:
• X10 (most significant digit) – left side of module
• X1 (least significant digit) – right side of module
To reset the node address, use a small blade screwdriver to rotate
the switches. Line up the small notch on the switch with the number
setting you wish to use and then cycle power.
The rotary switches are read periodically. If the switches have been
changed since the last time they were read and they no longer match
the on line address, a minor fault will occur, which is indicated by a
flashing red Adapter Status LED. Settings of 64 through 99 cause
the module to use the
last valid node address stored internally.
Example: The last setting internally was 40. If a change is made to
68, and then you power up, the address will default to 40.
The module is equipped with AutoBaud detect. AutoBaud lets the
module read the settings already in use on your DeviceNet network
and automatically adjusts to follow those settings.
