Assignment of the DIP switches
6.4.1
Switching write protection on/off
Write protection is switched on and off via the "WRITE LOCK" DIP switch. When write
protection is active ("WRITE LOCK" is "ON"), parameters cannot be modified. The current write
protection status is displayed in the "Locking status" parameter. When write protection is
active ("WRITE LOCK" is "ON"), a padlock symbol is lit on the display.
6.4.2
Choosing between operation via DIP switches and remote operation
When the device is operated via the DIP switches only 2 values are displayed even if
more display values were configured previously in the configuration software.
The bargraph is not displayed when the device is operated via the DIP switches.
Via the "Remote/DIP" DIP switch users can specify whether configuration is possible onsite via
the DIP switches or remotely via the DTM and PC configuration software. If the switch is set to
"OFF" (remote), all the switches apart from "WRITE LOCK" are disabled. If the switch is set to
"ON", all the DIP switches work and operation via the DTM is not possible.
6.4.3
Setting the bus address
The DIP switches can be used to set the address of the Profibus PA measuring device whose
values are to be displayed on the field indicator.
The bus address is set as follows:
1.
Use DIP switch "AI1/AI2" to select whether the configured address refers to analog input
1 (switch set to "ON") or analog input 2 (switch set to "OFF").
