Anybus® Communicator™ - PROFIBUS to Modbus RTU/Serial Rotary Switch Settings 4.4. Rotary Switch Settings 4.4.1. Rotary Switches Default Setting By default, the value on the three rotary switches are set to 000. Figure 4. Rotary switches default setting 000. Page 10 of 28 SP2980 1.
Rotary Switch Settings Anybus® Communicator™ - PROFIBUS to Modbus RTU/Serial 4.4.2. Set a Node Address with Rotary Switches About the Rotary Switch Settings To set a node address for the PROFIBUS server, use the rotary switches located on the top front of the Communicator . TIP Use Windows Calculator (or similar application) to convert between hexadecimal (hex) and decimal (dec). • The default node address setting is 000.
Anybus® Communicator™ - PROFIBUS to Modbus RTU/Serial Rotary Switch Settings Before You Begin Ensure that the Communicator is disconnected from power. Figure 5. Disconnect Communicator from power Procedure Use a screwdriver to change the rotary switch position. Ensure that the rotary switches engage correctly. Page 12 of 28 SP2980 1.
Rotary Switch Settings Anybus® Communicator™ - PROFIBUS to Modbus RTU/Serial Example 1. To set the node address 12 hex = 18 dec 1. The rear rotary switch A is not used, ensure that it is set to 0. 2. Set the center rotary switch B to 1 hex. 3. Set the front rotary switch C to 2 hex. The center rotary switch B 1 hex = 1 dec and the front rotary switch C 2 hex = 2 dec. The node address expressed in decimal numbers is therefore 16 x 1 + 2 = 18. SP2980 1.
Anybus® Communicator™ - PROFIBUS to Modbus RTU/Serial Rotary Switch Settings Example 2. To set the node address 7E hex = 126 dec • The rear rotary switch A is not used, ensure that it is set to 0. • Set the center rotary switch B to 7. • Set the front rotary switch C to E. The center rotary switch B 7 hex = 7 dec and the front rotary switch C E hex = 14 dec. The node address expressed in decimal numbers is therefore 16 x 7 + 14 = 126. Page 14 of 28 SP2980 1.
Rotary Switch Settings Anybus® Communicator™ - PROFIBUS to Modbus RTU/Serial To Do Next Connect the Communicator to power. See Connect to Power (page 16). Figure 6. Connect Communicator to power Result The set node address is active as soon as the Communicator is powered on. NOTE Changing the address settings on the rotary switches during operation is ignored. For a new address to take effect, power cycle the Communicator . SP2980 1.
Anybus® Communicator™ - PROFIBUS to Modbus RTU/Serial Connect to Power 4.5. Connect to Power CAUTION Ensure that the power supply is turned off before connecting it to the equipment. IMPORTANT Using the wrong type of power supply can damage the equipment. Ensure that the power supply is connected properly and of the recommended type. IMPORTANT Before you connect the Communicator to power, ensure that the PROFIBUS address is set on the rotary switches.
