1.2 Connecting the second module
If you have two modules in the same RS-485 network and each module
has the
same address and baud rate
; they will
conflict with each other
.
Due to the factory settings, each module has the same address and
baud rate (address=
0x01
, baud rate=
9600
). Thus, users have to change the
configuration settings for each module to prevent further conflict. To change
the configuration on a specified module, double click on the module-ID that is
listed in the information window of the
7000 Utility.
Refer to figure 1-1-5 and
2-6-4. To add a second module, change the address of the first module to
0x02 and then click on the “
Setting
” button. Refer to figure 1-2-1.
Figure 1-2-1. Changing the configuration settings.
The configuration settings of the first module:
Address:
0x02
Baud rate:
9600
Checksum:

The configuration settings of the second module: (default factory settings)
Address:
0x01
Baud rate:
9600
Checksum:
disabled
Now, users can connect the second module. See Figure 1-2-2.
