Follow these steps to set the address and baud rate for your network
module.
1. Choose and set a network address. Refer to the following section,
Setting the Network Address, for more information.
2. Choose and set the baud rate. For more information, refer to the
section, Setting the Baud Rate, later in this chapter.
3. Write your address and baud rate settings in the space provided on
the network module label.
4. Apply (or cycle) power to the bank, to enable the network module
for the new network address and baud rate.
5. Make the same address and baud rate changes in your FieldPoint
software. Refer to the FieldPoint software online help for more
information.
Setting the Network Address
Switches 1-5 set the network module address. The addresses of the
terminal bases in a FieldPoint bank are automatically configured by the
network module to be sequentially higher than the network module’s
address. For example, if the network module is set to address 20, the I/O
module in the terminal base adjacent to the network module is at
address 21, the next I/O module is at address 22, and so on. A terminal
base is assigned an address whether an I/O module is inserted on it or
not.
Note: If you are connecting more than one network module to the same host
computer port, ensure that each network module has a unique address.
Table 2-1 shows the possible switch positions and the corresponding
address of the FieldPoint network module.
