Node ID configuration of R-Series
V
POWERLINK
This chapter describes how to adjust the node ID of the R-Series
V
POWERLINK. The node ID is used to identify a device in a
POWERLINK network. Each node ID only exists once in the network.
The node ID can have a value between 1 and 240, where 240 is
reserved for the Managing Node. The node ID set on the POWERLINK
device must match the node ID assigned in the project. There are two
ways to set the node ID on the R-Series
V
POWERLINK.
Section 6.1
describes the setting of the node ID via the TempoLink

explains the setting of the node ID via Automation Studio
by B&R (Ber Rainer Industrie-Elektronik Ges.m.b.H.).
6.1 Setting the node ID via TempoLink
®
smart assistant
TempoLink
®
smart assistant is an accessory of the R-Series
V
family of
sensors. On the R-Series
V
POWERLINK, it is used to set the node ID
and provide additional status information for diagnostics of the sensor.
6.1.1 Connection of TempoLink
®
smart assistant to sensor and
power supply
Before changing the node ID at the sensor and connecting TempoLink
®
smart assistant to the sensor, disconnect the sensor from the power
supply and if the sensor is connected to a control disconnect it,
too. Use the adapter cable for connection of the TempoLink
®
smart
assistant to the R-Series
V
sensor. Connect the barrel connector of
the adapter cable to the connection point labeled “OUTPUT SENSOR”
on the TempoLink
®
smart assistant. Next, connect the female
connector of the adapter cable to the power supply at the R-Series
V
POWERLINK sensor.

Topologies and hubs
POWERLINK supports various topologies when building up a
network. Thus, the usage of linear, star, ring and tree topologies
are supported. A hub is integrated in devices like the R-Series
V
POWERLINK sensors. With integrated hubs, a power failure will cause
a communication interruption to the subsequent devices. This can be
avoided for example by extending a line structure to a ring structure.
NOTICE
• When disconnecting the power supply of the sensor possibly error
messages occur at the connected controller.
• Do not exceed the maximum cable length between TempoLink
