4 CONFIGURATION
The 505K module is configured by creating a configuration file on a PC and downloading to
the 505K via the RS232 serial port. You will require the configuration software, and a serial
cable - refer to the previous section for details on the cable.
The configuration software is supplied as "free-ware" on the Product Catalog CD supplied
with each order. The configuration software for the 505K 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-K” as the unit type for 505K modules.
Each 505K has a unit address and a secondary address - 105U modules only have a unit
address, they do not use a secondary address. Up to eight 505K modules can use the same
unit address. This allows a large number of 505U modules to be used in a system. If you
enter the same unit address for more than one 505K, the configuration software will
automatically increase the secondary address. In the example above, 505-K#8 is the first
module configured with unit address 8 - its secondary address is 0. If a second 505K
modules is configured with unit address 8, it will appear as 505-K#8_1 - its secondary
address is 1. Note that this module is recognised as a completely different module to the first
505K.
For small systems, it is simpler to select a unique unit address for each 505K module.
