Each slave on an AS-Interface bus must be assigned (via configuration) a unique physical address. This must be the same as the one declared in Control Expert.
The Control Expert software offers an automatic slave addressing utility so that an AS-Interface console does not have to be used.
The Automatic Addressing utility is used for:
NOTE: A new configuration with automatic addressing is not accepted if one or more slaves with a 0 address are already on the bus. In this case, the Configuration refused by module message appears.
NOTE: The Automatic Addressing utility does not support the S-6.0 profile Combined Transaction slaves. For these slaves, manually addressing is supported.
