Programming Guide
11.7 Multiple Units (Multidrop Mode, RS485)
Up to 32 units can be connected within a RS485 network, see section
5.6
Installing of Multiple Sensors via RS485 on page 31. To direct a
command to one unit among the 32 possible, it is necessary to
„address“ a command. Therefore, a 3‐digit number is set prior the
command. The 3‐digit number is determined between 001 and 032.
Exception: Broadcast command.
If a command is transferred, starting with the 3‐digit number 000, all
units (with addresses from 001 to 032) connected will get this
command – without to send an answer.
Note: A unit with the address 000 is a single unit and not in
multidrop mode.
XA=024 will set address to 24 (unit must not be in multidrop mode)
Changing an address:
(e.g. the address is change from 24 to 17)
command answer
„017?E“ „017E0.950“
„017XA=024“ “017XA024” setting of a new address
„024?E“ „024E0.950“
Example for the broadcast command:
command answer
“024?E” “024E0.950”
“000E=0.5” will be executed from all units, no answer
“024?E” “024E0.500”
“012?E” “012E0.500”
