4 CONFIGURATION
The 905K module is configured by creating a configuration file on a PC and downloading to the
905K via the RS232 serial port. You will require the configuration software, and a serial cable -
refer to the previous section for details on the cable.
The configuration software is supplied as "free-ware" on the Product Catalog CD supplied with
each order. The configuration software for the 905K is the same as the software for the 905U.
Please read section 4.3 of the 905U User Manual before proceeding further.
Setup the project name and system address as per the 905U manual. Enter the “units” as per the
manual. Select “905-K” as the unit type for 905K modules.
Each 905K has a unit address and a secondary address - 905U modules only have a unit
address, they do not use a secondary address. Up to eight 905K modules can use the same unit
address. This allows a large number of 905K modules to be used in a system. If you enter the
same unit address for more than one 905K, the configuration software will automatically
increase the secondary address. In the example above, 905-K#14 is the first module configured
with unit address 14 - its secondary address is 0. If a second 905K modules is configured with
unit address 14, it will appear as 905-K#14_1 - its secondary address is 1. Note that this
module is recognised as a completely different module to the first 905K.
For small systems, it is simpler to select a unique unit address for each 905K module.
