c. Read the RS485 address of the active board:
n
Board’s response:
’#
x
<c/r>’, where
x
is the address of the active board.
x
=0 means that the board has been configured as a non-RS485 device.
Other value (between 1 & 64) specifies the RS485 address of the active
board.
Notes
1. After sending the ‘n’ command, wait 1 second to give
chance to all 64 potential addresses to respond.
2. If no board is active, there will be no response.
3. In case of malfunction, more than one ‘#
x
<c/r>’ will be responded,
in sequence. This is theoretically impossible but should be checked
in order to be on the safe side. In this case re-activate the required
address by the ‘activate address’ command (paragraph a).
d. Set the specified RS485 address:
N
x
<c/r>
This command sets the board’s RS485 address.
x
is between
0 and 64. (
x
=0 sets the board as a non-RS485 device; this will facilitate
your coding, as no ‘:
x
<c/r>’ command will be needed.) Note: When the
RS485 address is not 0, its value is shown for a while on the LED display
upon board reset.
Board’s response: ‘OK<c/r>’.
Normally a user application will never use this command, as the address
setting is carried out using the LCIC-WIM-SETTINGS utility.
