Slave Address
Once the interface is installed, the slave address of the interface can be set. Default instruments will be
delivered with slave address 126. This address has been agreed by the Profibus organization to be free
for installing new devices to the bus. Changing the station address is done in two ways, either through
a dip switch or through the master.
Dip Switch
The dip switches are located inside the meter. Remove the display cover to expose the switches:
The dip switch is binary encoded with the LSB (lowest bit) on the left side. The switch is only read
during power-up.
The switch becomes active when the slider is moved upwards. Here some examples of some addresses
(1 = on/up, 0 = off/down):
LSB
1 2 4 8
MSB
