5.4  Setting of Tags and 
Addresses
This section describes the steps in the procedure to 
set PD Tags and node addresses in the transmitter. 
There are three states of Fieldbus devices as 
shown in Figure 5.4, and if the state is other than 
the lowest SM_OPERATIONAL state, no function 
block is executed. EJX must be transferred to this 
state when a transmitter tag or address is changed.
UNINITIALIZED
(No tag nor address is set)
Tag clear  Tag setting
INITIALIZED
(Only tag is set)
SM_OPERATIONAL
(Tag and address are retained, and 
the function block can be executed.)

Figure 5.4  Status Transition by Setting PD Tag and 
Node Address
The transmitter has a PD Tag (PT2001) and node 
address (245, or hexadecimal F5) that are set 
upon shipment from the factory unless otherwise 
specied. To change only the node address, clear 
the address once and then set a new node address. 
To set the PD Tag, rst clear the node address and 
clear the PD Tag, then set the PD Tag and node 
address again.
Devices whose node addresses have been cleared 
will have the default address (randomly chosen 
from a range of 248 to 251, or from hexadecimal F8 
to FB). At the same time, it is necessary to specify 
the device ID in order to correctly specify the device. 
The device ID of the EJX is 594543000Cxxxxxxxx 
and that of the EJA is 5945430011xxxxxxxx. (The 
xxxxxxxx at the end of the above device ID is a total 
of 8 alphanumeric characters.)
5.5  Communication Setting
To set the communication function, it is necessary 
to change the database residing in SM-VFD.
5.5.1  VCR Setting
Set VCR (Virtual Communication Relationship), 
which species the called party for communication 
and resources. The transmitter has 35 VCRs whose 
application can be changed, except for the rst 
VCR, which is used for management.
The transmitter has VCRs of four types:
Server(QUB) VCR
A Server responds to requests from a host. This 
communication needs data exchange. This 
type of communication is called QUB (Queued 
User-triggered Bidirectional) VCR.
Source (QUU) VCR
A Source multicasts alarms or trends to other 
devices. This type of communication is called 
QUU (Queued User-triggered Unidirectional) 
VCR.
Publisher (BNU) VCR
A Publisher multicasts AI block output to 
another function block(s). This type of 
communication is called BNU (Buffered 
Network-triggered Unidirectional) VCR.
Subscriber (BNU) VCR
A Subscriber receives output of another 
function block(s) by PID block.
A Server VCR is capable to responding to 
requests from a Client (QUB) VCR after the Client 
successfully initiates connection to the Server. A 
Source VCR transmits data without established 
connection. A Sink (QUU) VCR on another device 
can receive it if the Sink is congured so. A 
Publisher VCR transmits data when LAS requests 
so. An explicit connection is established from 
Subscriber (BNU) VCR(s) so that a Subscriber 
knows the format of published data.
Each VCR has the parameters listed in Table 5.4. 
Parameters must be changed together for each 
VCR because modication of individual parameters 
may cause inconsistent operation.
