Installing TLA700 Modules

This section describes how to install modules in your TLA700 mainframe.

CAUTION.

To avoid damaging the instrument, do not install or remove any

modules while the instrument is powered on. Always power down the instrument
before installing or removing modules.

Every module in the instrument must have a unique logical address; no two
modules can have the same address. Use the two rotary switches on the rear
panel of the modules to select the logical address (see Figure 5).

The factory default switch setting is FF (Dynamic Auto Configuration). With
dynamic logical address auto configuration, the instrument automatically sets the
address to an unused value.

Normally, you would not want to change the default settings. However, you can
set the address to a fixed static logical address value. You can select any static
addresses between 01 and FE hexadecimal (1 to 254 decimal). If you set the
logical address switches to any other setting than FF, you must verify that no two
modules (or devices) share the same address.

NOTE

. Do not set any module to logical address 00. Logical address 00 is

reserved exclusively for the controller.
