Changing Advanced Conext ComBox Settings

Make these changes before connecting new devices to the Conext ComBox system. When the Conext ComBox detects a new device, it will assign the address based on the current start address setting for that device type.

For example, a Freedom SW Modbus Start Address of 10:

•The first Freedom SW discovered on the network will be assigned the address 10.

•The second Freedom SW discovered on the network will be assigned the address 11, and so on.

The starting addresses for each device type on installation of the Conext ComBox are listed above.

To change device type starting addresses:

1.In Modbus Device Address Enumeration, click for the device type to ensure you have the current information.

2.Enter the new starting value for the device type and click .

Note: Valid Modbus addresses can be from 1 to 247. The rest of the numbers are assigned special meanings.

3.Once you have saved all device type starting addresses, there are two options:

•You can keep the existing device addresses, and the new start address will be applied only to newly discovered devices.

When a new device is detected, the Conext ComBox determines the starting address of that device type, finds the first unused address for that device type, and assigns this address to the new device

•The Conext ComBox can perform a device rediscovery to reassign addresses based on the changed starting addresses.

To reassign new addresses to all devices:

In Modbus Address List, click Reset Addresses. Then, perform a reboot (see “Rebooting the Conext ComBox” on page 3–17).
