2 Installation and Setting
- 5 -
The DIP switches S2 and S3 compose an 8-digit DIP switch for setting the baud rate and
device address for CAN bus communication. The following figure shows the numbering
of DIP switches. Switches 1 and 2 are used to set the baud rate, and switches 3 to 8 are
used to set the CANopen device addresses. The switch on the ON position indicates
1,
and indicates 0 otherwise.

CANopen device address
MD38CAN2 provides six switches for setting the CANopen device addresses. Switch 3 is
the highest bit, and switch 8 is the lowest bit. Switches 3 to 8 correspond to b5 to b0 of a
16-bit binary integer. The address range to be set is 1–63, as listed in the following table.
Address 0 is reserved and cannot be used. If you set address
0, MD38CAN2 will not work.
