Purpose This function sets the communications type, controller address, and baud rate for
communicating with a host computer.
Screen
TYPE:485 ADR: 1<
BAUD: 9600
Communications Type: RS-232 or RS-485
Address: 0-255
Baud Rate: 4800, 9600, 19.2Kb, 38.4Kb
Type Use SEL to toggle between RS-232 and RS-485 communications on units shipped with
date code 9549 or newer (default setting is RS 485).
Address The address must be unique for each controller installed on a network. This address is
used by a host computer to identify and send information to a particular controller. A
PLuS controller will ignore incoming information if the address field of the communica-
tion packet does not match the address of the controller.
The address set through COMMUNICATIONS programming takes effect only when the
DIP switch shown in Figure 13 is set to an address value of zero. Whereas the DIP
switch can set a maximum address of “7,” the COMMUNICATIONS function can set
addresses ranging from 0-255.
Use the numeric keys and ENT to program the address.
