INSTALLATION
CONFIGURATION
SWITCHES
The configuration switches are used to set the Profibus node address. Normally, these
switches are covered by a plastic hatch. Note that the node address can not be changed
during runtime, i.e. the P485 requires a reset for any changes to have effect. Recycle the
power supply to reset the module
Figure 2-10: P485 configuration switches
The node address is configured using two rotary switches as follows:
Profibus node address = (Switch B
× 10) + (Switch A × 1)
