3.2.2  Multidrop Mode
Field devices in multidrop mode refer to the connection of several eld devices on a single 
communication line. Up to 15 eld devices can be connected when set in multidrop mode. To activate 
multidrop communication, each eld device address must be changed to a unique number in the 
range 1 to 15. This change deactivates the 4 to 20mA output and changes it to 4mA.
