For all standard and extendable racks, the module address is geographical and will depend upon the position of the module on the rack. The address of each position is indicated under each connector - the connector with address PS is always dedicated to the rack power supply.
Several addressing cases are possible:
Module addressing on standard racks
-
for a TSX RKY 6: use addresses 00 to 04,
-
for a TSX RKY 8: use addresses 00 to 06,
-
for a TSX RKY 12: use addresses 00 to 10.
Module addressing on extendable racks
The address of a module will depend upon the position of microswitch 4:
-
microswitch 4 in the ON position, the modules will have addresses (00 to x), according to the rack type,
-
microswitch 4 in the OFF position, the modules will have addresses (08 to y), according to the rack type. This functionality is only managed by the programming software.
The following table shows the addresses in relation to the position of microswitch 4:
