Remote Module ID

The default setting is 255 (communications disabled). Assign a remote module ID (1 to 254) to the RTD
module. The BE1-11m uses this unique ID to communicate with the connected RTD module. To obtain
metering values in BESTCOMSPlus or through the BE1-11m front-panel, the same ID must be entered on
the Remote Module Communications screen under System Parameters in the Settings Explorer of the
BE1-11 plugin. The Device Address screen is shown in Figure 331.

Device Security Setup

Password protection guards against unauthorized changing of RTD module settings. Passwords are case
sensitive. OEM Access is the only level of password protection available. This password level allows
access to all settings made using the RTD Module plugin for BESTCOMSPlus. The default, OEM-access
password is “OEM”.

Passwords can be changed only after communication between the PC and RTD module is established. A
change to the password is made through the Device Security Setup screen.

Use the Settings Explorer in BESTCOMSPlus to select Device Security Setup under General Settings.
The Login dialog box appears. See Figure 332.
