About this task
PEAK field controllers are master devices on MS/TP (SA or FC) buses. Before operating controllers on a bus, you must set a valid and unique device address for each controller on the bus. You set a controller's device address by setting the positions of the switches on the DIP switch block at the top of the controller (Figure 1). Device addresses 4 through 127 are the valid addresses for these controllers.
The DIP switch block has eight switches, numbered 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1. Switches 64 through 1 are device address switches. Switch 128 is a mode switch that enables a controller to operate on a ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus. Switch 128 must be set to OFF for all hard-wired SA and FC bus applications. Set switch 128 to ON for wireless FC bus applications only.
To set the device addresses on PEAK field controllers, complete the following steps:
Procedure
Results
Device address | Use on description |
---|---|
0
(Switch 128 Off) |
Reserved for FC bus supervisory controller (not for use on controllers). |
1 to 3
(Switch 128 Off) |
Reserved for peripheral devices (not for use on controllers). |
4 to 127
(Switch 128 Off) |
Used for MS/TP master devices (controllers) that are hardwired to an SA bus or FC bus. |
0 to 3
(Switch 128 ON) |
Reserved addresses for wired subordinate devices
(not for use on controllers) Note: PEAK controllers ship with switch 128 ON and the
remaining address switches off rendering the
controllers wired subordinate devices, which do
not operate on MS/TP buses.
|
4 to 127
(Switch 128 ON) |
Valid for MS/TP Master controllers on wireless FC
buses only. Note: Do not connect a
controller with switch 128 ON to an active,
hard-wired SA or FC bus. When a controller with
switch 128 ON and a device address from 4 to 127
is connected to a wired field bus, the entire
field bus is rendered inoperable until the
controller is disconnected or switch 128 is set to
OFF.
