Optional DIP Switch Settings
The 6250 is equipped with a four-position DIP switch package you can use to select the
6250's device address (necessary only for daisy-chaining multiple 6250s with one RS-232C
circuit), and to use the 6250's auto baud rate feature.
NOTE
The default settings (address = 0; baud rate = 9600) are adequate for most applications.
Accessing the DIP Switch Package
Use the following procedure to access the DIP switch package inside the 6250.
CAUTION
While handling the 6250 printed circuit assembly (PCA), be sure to observe proper grounding
techniques to prevent electro-static discharge (ESD).
➀
Remove power before removing the 6250's enclosure.
➁
Lay the 6250 on its back (the side with the mounting brackets).
➂
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws on the front panel and the two screws on
the bottom panel.
➃
Gently lift the enclosure to remove it from the chassis.
The illustration below shows the DIP switch package and lists the optional settings.
NOTE
As an alternative to setting the address with the DIP switch package, you can automatically
establish an
n + 1 unique address configuration with the
ADDR
command. Refer to the
RS-
232C Daisy-Chaining section in Chapter 5 for details.
