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.
