If a slave fails due to a fault, it can be replaced with an identical device with
an address of 0. The gateway will detect the replacement and will automati-
cally reassign the faulty slave's address to the new slave. It may be neces-
sary to configure this feature on the gateway.
If the replacement device does not have a default address of 0, it will be
necessary to program it with the faulty device's address.
￫
You can use the AS-i gateway to delete the existing Rapid Link 5
device address and assign a new address.
￫
For detailed information on addressing and troubleshooting the
gateway, refer to the manufacturer's manual.
You can position M12 branches (ZB2-100-AZ1) at any point along the
ASi ribbon cable.
Both the mechanical and electrical connections are carried out in one
operation:
▶ Release the black union nut until the contact tips no longer protrude.
▶ Insert the two-wire profile ribbon cable and clip the junction shut.
▶ Retighten the black union nut.
The device or module is now ready for operation.
