Front Panel Switches
Two, three-position slide switches are located on the front of the unit. The switch on the left is not used. The three-position slide switch on the right is used to select the comm parameter settings for the Modbus (RS-232) port provided with the Modbus Plus option module. Three options are available, as shown below.
The following figure shows the front panel switches.
NOTE: If the left-hand switch is in the upper position and right-hand switch is set to mem then, as of firmware version 2.20, bridge mode is deactivated. This means that the network connection between Modbus and Modbus Plus is locked.
The NOM hardware defaults to bridge mode when the front panel switch is set to RTU or ASCII mode. When networking controllers, a panel device connected to the NOM Modbus port can communicate with the controller to which it is conected, as well as log into any nodes on the Modbus Plus network.
Rear Panel Switches
Two rotary switches are located on the rear panel of the modules. They are used together to set the Modbus Plus node and Modbus port address for the unit.
NOTE: The highest address that may be set with these switches is 64.
Rotary SW1 (top switch) sets the upper digit (tens), and rotary SW2 (bottom switch) sets the lower digit (ones) of the Modbus Plus node address. The illustration below shows the setting for an example address of 11.
SW1 and SW2 Switches Figure
The following figure shows the SW1 and SW2 switches.
NOTE: If "0," or an address greater than 64 is selected, the Modbus + LED will be "on" steady, to indicate the selection of an invalid address.

Modbus Connector Pinouts
The NOM modules are equipped with a nine-pin RS-232C connector that supports Modicon’s proprietary Modbus communication protocol. The following is the Modbus port pinout connections for 9-pin and 25-pin connections.
The following figures show the Modbus port pinout connections for 9-pin (left) and 25-pin (right).
