DIP switch

The DIP switches (S101) can be used to define the Explicit Device Identification for the EtherCAT slave interfaces (X101, X102). This enables an CX8110 to be swapped with another CX8110 during operation. Explicit Device Identification is a value that enables the individual CX8110s to be distinguished.

The value can be set with the DIP switches or in TwinCAT. If the value is to be set with the DIP switches, the setting requires one-time activation in TwinCAT (see: Using Explicit Device Identification). The CX8110 reads the DIP switch at startup.

The DIP switches have no meaning for the Ethernet interface X001.

DIP switch 1:
DIP switch S101, switches 1 to 10.

Right switch position: on "1".

Left switch position: off "0".

Meaning of the DIP switch (S101).

Example

To set the value 67 as Explicit Device Identification with the DIP switches, configure the DIP switches as follows:

DIP 1

DIP 2

DIP 3

DIP 4

DIP 5

DIP 6

DIP 7

DIP 8

On

The following value then results from the activated DIP switches.
20 + 21 + 26 = 67
