Device Station Address Change
Certain devices can be set up to allow remotely changing of the station address.
Devices with this option set generally defaults to station address 126. The user can
change the station address of a device (if the device is correctly setup) by right-
clicking on the device in the Discovery Lost and selecting
Change Station Address
.

– Changing Station Address
Next the user will need to select the new station address for the device. Once
selected press the Set button.
Figure 3.42
– Selecting new Station Address.
Once the request has been sent the user can either start a new network discovery to
confirm the address has changed or monitor the Livelist (see the
Diagnostics
section).
NOTE: The amount of time for the device to appear at the new station address is device depended. In
the Livelist there will be a period where both node addresses show up while the original station address
is timing out.
IMPORTANT: If the user sets the station address to an address that is already present on the DP
network it will result in communication failure of both devices.
IMPORTANT: Generally, the device will need to be in the correct state before it will accept a command
to change its station address (i.e. must not be in data exchange state).
