Multiple Addressing

Identical Slave Addressing

The status of slaves with identical addresses depends on the connection time:

If a new slave is connected to the bus while another slave with the identical address is already in the bus, the new slave is not detected by the BMX EIA 0100. Its actions are unknown and possible errors are not detected.
If two slaves are connected at the same time to the bus, the status of the BMX EIA 0100 and the slaves is unknown. The origin of detected errors, if any, may be wrong.

WARNING

UNEXPECTED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

Do not connect two slaves with identical addresses to an AS-Interface bus. This can cause incorrect error detection.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
