4.9 Setting the RUN Mode

4.9.1

When to Set the RUN Mode

Setting the BM85 to its RUN mode applies the parameters you have

assigned, making the unit ready for operation on the Modbus Plus

network and at its Modbus ports.

When the BM85 is in its RUN mode, it will become active in your

application as soon as power is applied to the unit.

Caution:ąYou must complete the internal configuration of the

BM85 before making the unit active in your application, both

on the Modbus Plus network and at its serial ports.

If you are installing a BM85 that was previously configured for

another application, another network, or a different node, the

unit will still be retaining its previous configuration setup.

You must not connect the unit into the current application and

apply operating power to the unit until you have reconfigured

it for the current application.

4.9.2

How to Set the RUN Mode

Before you set the unit to RUN mode, verify that you have setup its

Modbus port parameters and Modbus Plus node address as described in

this chapter.

Turn off power to the Bridge Multiplexer and set its configuration

switch 8 to the RUN position. Refer to Figure 15 for the configuration

switch location and setting.

If you have set the BM85 configuration correctly for a specific

installation site, you can transport the unit to the site and install it.

The RUN mode will be set when power is reapplied to the BM85.
