Setting the Bus Module Node Address

You can set the bus module node address as follows:

1. Using the DIP switch in the interface within the range 1 to 63
   • All positions are set to the OFF position at the factory. In this case, the IP address must be set on the website of the welding machine
2. On the website of the welding machine within the range 1 to 126 (if all positions of the DIP switch are set to the OFF position)

Example for setting the node address of the bus module using the DIP switch in the interface:
Dip switch								Node address
8	7	6	5	4	3	2	1
–	–	OFF	OFF	OFF	OFF	OFF	ON	1
–	–	OFF	OFF	OFF	OFF	ON	OFF	2
–	–	OFF	OFF	OFF	OFF	ON	ON	3
–	–	ON	ON	ON	ON	ON	OFF	62
–	–	ON	ON	ON	ON	ON	ON	63

• The node address is set with positions 1 to 6 of the dip switch.
• The configuration is carried out in binary format. This results in a configuration range of 1 to 63 in decimal format.
• Setting the node address on the website of the welding machine:

Note down the IP address of the welding machine used:

1. On the welding machine control panel, select “Defaults”
2. On the welding machine control panel, select “System”
3. On the welding machine control panel, select “Information” 4 Note down the displayed IP address (example: 10.5.72.13)
4. Access website of the welding machine in the internet browser:
5. Connect the computer to the network of the welding machine
6. Enter the IP address of the welding machine in the search bar of the internet browser and confirm
7. Enter the standard user name (admin) and password (admin)
   • The website of the welding machine is displayed
     Set the bus module node address:
8. On the welding machine website, select the “RI FB PRO/i” tab
9. Enter the desired node address for the interface under “Module configuration”
   For example: 2
10. Select “Set configuration”
11. Select “Restart module”
    • The set node address is applied

Input and output signals

Data types

The following data types are used:

• UINT16 (Unsigned Integer) Whole number in the range from 0 to 65535
• SINT16 (Signed Integer) Whole number in the range from -32768 to 32767

Conversion examples:

• for a positive value (SINT16) e. g. desired wire speed x factor 12.3 m/min x 100 = 1230dec = 04CEhex
• for a negative value (SINT16) e. g. arc correction x factor -6.4 x 10 = -64dec = FFC0hex
