Address setting
Assign the IDENTControl Compact an address between 0 (00h) and 125 (7Dh)
that is not already assigned to another node. The device address is set in the
hexadecimal system.
You have three options to set the device address:
1. using the rotary switches
2. via the PROFIBUS
3. via the RS 232 diagnostic interface
Switch setting
Setting the device address via the rotary switch
There are two rotary switches for setting the device address located on the
underside of the device.
1. Select the relevant address ("00h"
…
"7Dh") using the rotary switches.
2. Switch the device off and back on again or restart via the RS 232 diagnostic
interface using the RS<CHK><ETX> command so that the PROFIBUS
adopts the device address.
Note!
The rotary switches used to select the device address are located on the
underside of the IDENTControl Compact. These rotary switches are no longer
accessible once the IDENTControl Compact is installed.
Note!
If you would like to set the device address via the PROFIBUS or the RS 232
diagnostic interface, turn the rotary switch to position "7Eh" ... "FEh" or "FFh". The
address "7Eh ... FEh" may only be used for commissioning purposes.
However, you can only configure the device address via the PROFIBUS if the
device is the only node on the bus with the address 126. Otherwise, set the
address using the rotary switches before connecting the device to the bus.
After switching on, the IDENTControl Compact automatically adopts the transfer
rate specified by the master. Select the maximum cable length permitted for this
transfer rate (see chapter 5.4.7).
