Set switch 1 to the CONFIGURE position (UP).

Define the Configuration Port

Switches 2 and 3 determine the port connector to be used for connecting

the serial terminal. Set them for the port you want to use.

Set the Configuration Port Parameters (NW–BM85–000)

Set switches 4 ... 8 to match the terminal's baud rate, parity mode, and

stop bits. The port always uses 8 data bits for configuration.

Set the Configuration Port Parameters (NW–BM85C002, D008)

Set switches 4 ... 7 to match the terminal's baud rate and parity mode.

The port always uses 8 data bits and 1 stop bit for configuration. Always

leave switch 8 in its RUN (UP) position. The BM85 will not run unless

switch 8 is UP.

Connecting the Terminal

What You Will Need

You will need a serial terminal and cable of the types listed in

Compatible Devices and Cables, in Appendix A.

Connect the Terminal

The BM85 power should be off at this time. Connect the terminal to the

port you are using for configuration. Set the terminal's communication

parameters to match those of the BM85. Power up your terminal, and

start any emulation program you are using. Your terminal should be

running and ready, before you apply power to the BM85.

Apply Power to the BM85

When you have set the configuration switches, and your terminal is

ready, apply power to the BM85.

The configuration port's indicator should blink at one second intervals,

showing that the configuration mode is active. Your terminal should

display the MODBUS PORTS CONFIGURATION (V1) screen.

Your configuration screens and keyboard commands are described

starting at Section 3.6.
