Description
Function identifier
In the request telegram, which function should be executed in the device is signaled to the BPS in the bits
F0 to F7. The function identifier is entered in the response telegram. If the function identifiers is defined,
the BPS executes the desired function and sends the associated response telegram to the control. The
following function identifiers are currently defined:

NOTE
AZ0 … AZ7 are the address bits. If several BPS 8 operate in an RS 485 network, an address
configuration is required. Every BPS 8 is supplied with the Standard address 81
d
. The
address assignment (Default: 81
d
) is performed using the BPS Configuration Tool (see
chapter 8.5.3 "Communication").
NOTE
RS485 network!
An MA 8-01/MA 8-02 connection unit is mandatory for the operation of the BPS 8 in an RS485
network (see chapter 4.2 "MA 8-01 / MA 8-02 connection unit").
