•
Devices with the same address cannot be operated on the EFI at the same time.
•
If there are several C4000 safety light curtains on the EFI string, the addresses for the
cascaded system are assigned automatically.
The addresses are saved in non-volatile memory in the device memory in the C4000.
The device can no longer be used as a standalone device or in a different system
position.
Reset the system position saved in the C4000 using the CDS configuration software or
using the Host-Guest Plug available as an accessory.
•
In an EFI system with two safety laser scanners, set the address of one of the scanners
to guest! The procedure for addressing is described in the related operating instructions
in the chapter “Electrical installation” (S300 Mini, S300, S3000).
•
For the UE4740 EFI gateway, the UE403 and the Flexi Soft FX3-CPU1, -CPU2, -CPU3 the
