DIP-switches 1, 2 and 3 determine the RS-485 machine number of the
VP-31KSi. When several VP-31KSi units are connected, the machine number
determines the unique identity of the VP-31KSi on the bus (see
Note:
•
When using a stand-alone VP-31KSi unit, set the machine number to 1
(factory default)
•
When connecting more than one VP-31KSi, set the first machine (connected
via RS-232) to be machine number 1. The other VP-31KSi units must each
be set to a unique machine number between 2 and 8

DIP-switch 4 sets the RS-485 bus termination of the VP-31KSi. Only the first and
last physical units on the RS-485 bus must be terminated, all others must be
unterminated. Moving the DIP-switch up turns the termination off (default),
moving the switch down turns the termination on.
5.6.2 Connecting and Controlling Multiple VP-31KSi Devices
You can daisy-chain up to eight VP-31KSi devices with operation via RS-232
from a PC or serial controller (see
).
