ID Switch Setting

The controller identifies each APAX-5000 I/O module through the ID number. There-
fore, you need to set ID number for each I/O module by the rotary ID switch on the
front side. Rotate that ID switch and point the hole on the central axis to correspond-
ing ID number ("0" ~ "F"). Refer to figures below for the location of the rotary ID
switch and how to set the ID number by the rotary ID switch.
Note! APAX supports locate functionality. It means the selected APAX I/O mod-
ule will flash its LED to let you identify through Apax/Adam utility. Refer to
related APAX controller or coupler software manual for how to operate it.
From the figures above, you can choose ID number 0 ~ 15 from the rotary ID switch
("0" ~ "F"). Therefore, the maximum number for analog module in one system is 16.
For digital modules, there is another ID switch on the PCB that it can double the
available ID number. Thus, the maximum number for digital module in one system is
32.
