Multidrop

Last Unit

Must be used in RS-422 and RS-485 networks for the unit most distant from the host. Sequential display reads L3

If there is only one BASIC I/O AD in a network it is designated L3.

For the network layout, the sequential display indicates the letter “L” followed by “1", “2", or “3". As shipped, BASIC I/O ADs are setup as “l3", Last Unit. This parameter is not changed by push button but is displayed as “l1", “L2", or “L3" after the dip switches have been set and the unit has undergone a power cycle.
