Note: Node address 0 is used for messaging between nodes and must not be used.

A total of 255 node address settings are available. The switches are a binary representation of the decimal node addresses. Switch 1 is the Least Significant Bit and switch 8 is the Most Significant Bit. The switches have the following decimal values: switch 1=1, 2=2, 3=4, 4=8, 5=16, 6=32, 7=64, 8=128. Turn off the switches and add the values of the off switches to obtain the correct node address. (On=0, Off=1)

Notes: An example of possible settings is shown. The switches are a binary representation of the hexadecimal I/O addresses. Switch 6 is the Least Significant Bit and switch 1 is the Most Significant Bit. The switches have the following decimal values: switch 6=1h, 5=2h, 4=4h, 3=8h, 2=10h, 1=20h. Turn off the switches, add the values of the off switches, and multiply the total by 10h to obtain the correct I/O address.
