8. Assigning an address to the S88-4

According to principle, the standard feedback modules in the s88 bus
get an address automatically according to their position in the data line.
Thus you have to assign addresses to the S88-4 modules which are
higher as the highest address of a standard module. It is up to you to
assign the addresses to the S88-4 modules. The addresses do not have
to be appointed in ascending or descending order. It is possible to leave
addresses unused.
When assigning the addresses be careful not to appoint addresses
already used. In case two modules have the same address only the
data of the module next to the control unit or the interface will be
transmitted.
Take into account how many s88 modules your control unit or interface
supports.
The address of a S88-4 module is set by two parameters:
1. The position of the code switch, set by turning the arrow with a
small srewdriver. The settings 0 to 9 and A to F correspond to the
numerical values 1 to 16 (see list below).
2. The number of standard modules preceding the S88-4 module (not
the total number of standard modules in the s88 bus).
The particular address results from the address of the last standard
module before the S88-4 module plus the numerical value
corresponding to the setting of the code switch.
In consequence, the addresses you can assign to a S88-4 module are
restricted:
1. The lowest possible address is by 1 higher than the number of
standard modules in the s88 bus.
2. The highest possible address ist by 16 higher than the number of
standard modules preceding the S88-4 module.
