In many networking environments, the node ID may also be referred to as the address. On EPL
networks, limitations apply to the node IDs that may be selected:
Node ID 0 (00) is reserved for special purposes and cannot be used.
H
Node IDs 1 - 239 (01 - EF) cause the node to become a 'controlled node', a node that will
H
accept commands from the manager node.
Node ID 240 (F0) is reserved for the EPL manager node (for example NextMove e100) so
H
cannot be used by MicroFlex e100.
Node IDs 241 - 255 (F1 - FF) are reserved for special purposes and cannot be used.
H
For all other communication channels such as CANopen and USB, the node ID is set in software.
Each channel can have a different node ID, selected using the Mint WorkBench Connectivity
Wizard or the Mint BUSNODE keyword. See the Mint help file for details.
