The SA Bus and FC Bus wiring recommendations in this table are for MS/TP bus communications at 38,400 baud. For more

Setup and Adjustments
Setting the Device Addresses
FX-PCX controllers are master devices on MS/TP (SA
or FC) buses. Before operating controllers on a bus, you
must
set a valid and unique device address for each
controller on the bus. You set a controller's device
address by setting the positions of the switches on the
DIP switch block at the top of the controller (
).
Device addresses 4 through 127 are the valid addresses
for these controllers.
The DIP switch block has eight switches numbered 128,
64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1. Switches 64 through 1 are
device address switches. Switch 128 is a mode switch
that enables a controller to operate on an FX-ZFR Series
Wireless Field Bus. Switch 128 must be set to off for all
hard-wired SA and FC bus applications. Set switch 128
to ON for wireless FC bus applications
only
.

Address 21
Note:
All FX-PC series devices ship with switch 128 ON
and the remaining address switches off rendering
the controllers wired slave devices, which do not
operate on MS/TP buses, but will not interfere
with bus operation. Set a valid and unique device
address on the controller before applying power
to the controller on the bus.
