CONFIGURATION

The 505U module is configured by creating a configuration file on a PC and downloading to the
505U via the RS232 serial port. You will require the configuration software, and a serial cable -
refer to the previous section.

The configuration software is supplied as "free-ware" on the Product Catalog CD supplied with each
order. The configuration software for the 505U is the same as the software for the 105U. Please
read section 4.3 of the 105U User Manual before proceeding further.

Setup the project name and system address as per the 105U manual. Enter the “units” as per the
manual. Select “505-2” as the unit type for 505U modules.

Each 505U has a unit address and a secondary address. Up to eight 505U modules can use the
same system address. If you enter the same unit address for more than one 505U, the configuration
software will automatically increase the secondary address. The default description of a 505U
module is 505-2#10_1 where 10 is the unit address and 1 is the secondary address. If a unit
address of 10 is chosen for another 505U module, it will have a default description of 505-2#10_2.
For small systems, select a unique unit address for each 505U module.
