The node address is an unambiguous device address in the RS485 network. The
gauge can only communicate with the network if the node address setting is
correct. Valid address range: 0 … 255 in decimal form.
The node address setting is made on the gauge in hexadecimal form (00 … FF
hex
)
by means of two rotary switches.

When the gauge is put into operation, the firmware queries its node address.
If the node address is modified during operation it is taken over immediately.
The transmission rate is set with the rotary switch

If the transmission rate is modified during operation, a reset occurs and the new
transmission rate is taken over.

Indication (Ind)
Response (Rs)
The Data Link Layer uses the following terminology:
A request is an instruction (to read/or write) transmitted by the Master.
An indication means that the Slave (gauge) recognizes a request from the Master.
A response is an answer from the Slave to the Master.
A confirmation is an acknowledgement of the response by the Master.
