The configuration of a system require two steps:

  • tell to the master how many boards of each type are present
  • assing a number to every board


System configuration

The steps needed to configure the master of the system are:

  • connect your PC with an USB to Serial adapter to the H6105-D serial port
  • open PuTTY and create a serial connection with this parameters: 115200-N-8-1
  • configure the number of H6105-E boards with ce num command e.g. ce num 1
  • configure the number of H6103 boards with io num command e.g. io num 1
  • configure the number of H6104-P boards with ca num command e.g. ca num 1
  • save the configuration with the save command

The number of boards spans from 0 to 20 and are grouped by board type


Boards numbering

The steps needed to assign an address to a board are:

  • connect your PC with an USB Type-B cable to the USB port of the slave board
  • open PuTTY and create a serial connection with this parameters: 115200-N-8-1
  • configure the number of the board with bnum command e.g. bnum 0

The boards address spans from 0 to 19 and are grouped by board type
