Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Set the Node Address
You must set two switches to configure the daughtercard with its unique network address. 
Figure 1 shows the location of the switches. These switches are read on powerup to establish 
the network address of the card.
Set the node address to a value between 00 and 63. The node address of the daughtercard 
must be unique to the other nodes on your DeviceNet network.

ATTENTION
!
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can cause 
internal damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines 
when you handle this equipment:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• If available, use a static-safe workstation.
• When not in use, store the equipment in appropriate static-safe 
packaging.
IMPORTANT
Setting the node address to 99 and cycling power to the host will cause 
the daughtercard to erase its scanlist. Set the node address to 99 only if 
you want to erase the scanlist.
