Ensure that the distance corresponds as closely as possible to the current length (the sum of
all the cables per line) as this will accelerate data transmission.
Note
The distance set must always be longer than the actual length of cable per line.
Setting/changing the number
Proceed as follows:
1. Set the switch of the power supply module in the EU in which you want to make the change
to the position (Output voltage 0 V).
2. Enter the number using the DIP switch.
3. Switch the power supply module on again.
