Setting the Node Address

If switches 7 and 8 on the DeviceNet option board are On, the value of parameter 103
[

NV

MAC

ID

] determines the node address. By default, this parameter sets the node

address to 63. We recommend changing the node address to a new, unique node
address because all new devices use 63 as a default node address.

Step 1. In the Device Configuration - Enhanced Mode dialog box (see figure 3.8),

double-click parameter 103 [

NV

ID

]. The Device Configuration - Modify

Numeric Parameter dialog box appears.
