Modbus Plus 
Address 
Switches
The two rotary switches on the Option Adapter are used to set a Modbus Plus node 
address for the CPU module. The switches are shown in the following illustration. 
Their usage is described in detail in 
Modbus Plus Addresses on page 198.
The switches in this illustration are set to address 14.
Modbus Plus 
Ports A and B
This Option Adapter has two Modbus Plus ports. Redundant cabling on the 
Modbus Plus network offers increased protection against cable faults or excessive 
noise bursts on either one of the two cable paths. When one of the channels 
experiences communication problems, error-free messaging can continue to be 
processed on the alternate path.
