Step 5: Setting the Device ID
SW1 is used to set the Device ID of the device. It has a row of 8 DIP switches. The range of Device IDs that
can be set is 0 to 255. However, the acceptable range for field operation is 1 to 254.
The Device ID is set according to the binary format of an 8-bit byte. An "ON" position is interpreted as
binary bit 0. To help you to find the dip switching settings for a particular Device ID, use the index value
associated with each bit.
