Omega Speaker Systems LCIC-WIM-BEN manual Read the RS485 address of the active board

c. Read the RS485 address of the active board:

n

Board’s response:

’#x<c/r>’, where x is the address of the active board.

x=0 means that the board has been configured as a non-RS485 device. Other value (between 1 & 64) specifies the RS485 address of the active board.

Notes

1.After sending the ‘n’ command, wait 1 second to give chance to all 64 potential addresses to respond.

2.If no board is active, there will be no response.

3.In case of malfunction, more than one ‘#x<c/r>’ will be responded, in sequence. This is theoretically impossible but should be checked in order to be on the safe side. In this case re-activate the required address by the ‘activate address’ command (paragraph a).

d.Set the specified RS485 address:

Nx<c/r>

This command sets the board’s RS485 address. x is between

0 and 64. (x=0 sets the board as a non-RS485 device; this will facilitate your coding, as no ‘:x<c/r>’ command will be needed.) Note: When the RS485 address is not 0, its value is shown for a while on the LED display upon board reset.

Board’s response: ‘OK<c/r>’.

Normally a user application will never use this command, as the address setting is carried out using the LCIC-WIM-SETTINGS utility.
