NOTE
All Balluff RS485-based
processor units’ ship with their Node ID value
set to 0.
When a powered processor unit (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 processor unit will display its new assigned Node
ID value in binary code from right to left or (top to bottom) using the five amber Node LEDs
on the processor unit, see Figure B, 7.
When dynamically assigning a Node ID value for a new processor unit, 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
processor unit ever fail, a replacement processor unit can be installed quickly and easily. The
new processor unit will be automatically assigned the same Node ID value and configuration
as the replaced processor unit, 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
processor unit.
