Frequently asked questions

You can set the node address using rotary switches on the module or with a DeviceNet configuration tool like RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.

The receive character buffer length parameter defines the maximum number of characters the module can receive from the serial device into its buffer at one time.

The module handles data strings longer than its receive buffer length by internally generating an overflow error in the status byte.
