Setting of
station
addresses
The Profibus address must be set using the two rotary selection switches behind the
transparent cover. The default setting is 11. Any address is permitted, but each address may
only be used once within the network. The address is changed while the Fieldbus Box is
switched off. To do this, unscrew the cover and use a screwdriver to move the switches to the
desired position. Make sure that the switches engage properly. The change in address is
active as soon as the device is switched on.
Address Fieldbus Box
The switch on the left represents the tens, while that on the right represents the units.
Address Buscoupler
The switch S311 represents the tens, while that S310 represents the units.
