The DX80 front panel picture helps identify
each switch, button and LED. The rotary switches in
the middle of the round window are identified as a

switch). The value for each rotary switch is 0 – 9.
The rotary switches define different parameters
depending upon the current operating state and
whether the device is a gateway or node.
During Run Mode the gateway rotary switches
define the device information to display; the node
switches indicate the node ID number.
During configuration of the Network ID, the
rotary switches indicate the network ID number on
both the gateway and the node.
During configuration of the Modbus slave
number the gateway rotary switches indicate the
Modbus slave number 01-99.
During Site Survey operations the gateway
switches define the node ID number; the node rotary
switches define the node ID number.
The gateway front panel LED’s are used to display information about the Modbus serial
communications
