8.3. BAUD RATE / ADDRESS
Baud Rate
This unit supports the following baud rates:
• 9600
• 4800
• 2400
This is settable from the front panel. It is essential that all units connected on the same
RS485 bus be set to the same baud rate.
Address -
When being controlled remotely, all units on the bus must be allocated a unique address.
When multiple units are connected on the same bus, it is essential that each be provided
with a unique address otherwise communications will be corrupted.
The address is normally settable from the front panel, although some units are factory
configured to a preset address.
Valid addresses are in the range 1 – 255.
