Address assignments
Bus nodes each have a unique address on the bus.
The NCU uses:
● A common address for the NC and PLC on the OPI
● Two separate addresses (for NC and PLC) on the MPI interface
Defaults for OPI
Addresses 0 (PG diagnostics) and 14 (HT6) are reserved at the factory and 13 (NCK) is
defined as the default. These addresses should not be assigned to bus nodes in M:N
systems.
● Address 0
● Address 13
Defaults for MPI
● Address 2
● Address 3
Number of active PCUs/HT6s on 1 NCU
A maximum of two PCUs/HT6s (incl. COROS OPs) can be constantly actively connected to
one NCU. PCUs/HT6s on the OPI or MPI count in the same way.
