NOTE
All Balluff RS485-based compact processors ship with their Node ID value
set to 0.
When a powered compact processor (that is set to Node ID 0) is connected to the Subnet, it
will not initially be recognized by the Gateway until the Configuration Tag is placed in the
antenna’s RF field. After a few seconds the compact processor will display its new assigned
Node ID value in binary code from right to left using the five amber Node LEDs on the
compact processor, see
Table 1 .
When dynamically assigning a Node ID value for a new compact processor, the Gateway will
either assign the next available Node ID value or the value that the Gateway recognizes as
offline or “
missing ” – that is, a Node ID value that previously existed, but has since
disappeared from the network.
Because the Gateway stores a backup of each Subnet Node’s configuration, should an RFID
compact processor ever fail, a replacement compact processor can be installed quickly and
easily. The new compact processor will be automatically assigned the same Node ID value
and configuration as the replaced compact processor, provided the Configuration Tag is
introduced to the antenna field after startup and then removed.
NOTE
Avoid that the configuration tag is simultaneously read by more than one
compact processor.
