The module addresses that can be selected using the address switches are in the
range 1-63.
If both address switches on the device are set to 0, then the address configured in
Flexi Soft Designer is used. There the address can be set in the range 0-63.
If a higher address is selected, address 63 is active.
How to set the baud rate via hardware DIP switches:
Set the baud rate using the DIP switches on the device. Then switch the Flexi Soft
system off and back on again.
