Address (NodeID)

BK5110, BK5120 and LC5100

Before starting the Bus Coupler, the node number (node ID) has to be set. These settings are made by means of 8 DIP switches on the coupler.

Address (NodeID) 1: — DIP switch on BK5110, BK5120 and LC5100 - Setting the node ID

The coupler’s node ID is set with DIP switches 1 - 6. Switch 1 is the lowest value bit 2⁰ and switch 6 the highest value bit 2⁶. The bit is set when the switch is ON. The node ID can be set in the range from 0 to 63 (e.g. node ID = 14 -> switch 2, 3, 4 to ON), but the 0 is not allowed.

Each address may only occur once in the network. For changing an address the Bus Coupler must be switched off. The change in address is active as soon as the device is switched on.

BK5150 and BK5151

The node number (node ID) must be set via two rotary selection switches. The default setting is 11. All addresses from 0 to 63 are permitted. Each address may only occur once in the network. For changing an address the Bus Coupler must be switched off. The switches can be set to the required position using a screwdriver. Ensure that the switches engage correctly. The lower switch is the 10-multiplier, the upper switch is the 1-multiplier. The changed address is active as soon as the Bus Coupler is switched on again.

Address (NodeID) 2: — Rotary selection switch on BK5150 and BK5151 - Setting the node ID
