Addressing

An address must be set at every module so that the field bus Communication  Module can access the specific inputs and outputs.

A detailed description concerning “addressing” can be found in Addressing of the CPUs and Communication Modules Inputs, Outputs and Flags.

The address (00 to 99) is set with two rotary switches on the front panel of the module.

Remark: The FBP Interface Module reads the position of the address switches only during the initialization after power ON, i.e. changes of the setting during operation remain ineffective. The set address is forwarded to the FieldBusPlug.
