4.1.2An Overview of the Configuration Process
The BM85 requires an internal program for controlling its operation with parameters for each serial port you will use in your application. The unit contains a non$volatile memory that stores your program and port configurations even when operating power is removed.
You must create your BM85 application program and download it across the Modbus Plus network to the BM85. A switch is provided on the BM85 to enable the unit to accept the download. If the unit is already installed at its site and connected to the network you can download your program to it. You can also download your program at a spare network connection near your download host then transport the configured BM85 to the site and install it.
Caution:"You must complete the internal configuration of the BM85 before making the unit active in your application both on the Modbus Plus network and at its serial ports
If you are installing a BM85 that was previously configured for another application another network or different node the unit will still be retaining its previous configuration setup You must not connect the unit into the current application and apply operating power to the unit until you have reconfigured it for the current application
