6 Setting Operation Mode

Before the power is on, set up the rotary switches according to Section 2.8 Node Address and Section 2.9 Data

Format and Baud Rate. For the module with firmware V2.04 or earlier, the settings in the software are not

latched when the power is off. If the setting in the software is inconsistent with the rotary switch setting, then the

rotary switch setting will be applied after the power is on again.

For the module with firmware V2.06 or later, when the node address is set to 0x00 with the rotary switches, all

the software settings can be used and all parameters will retain the last setting values in the software after the

power is on again.

The node address setting for IFD9506 must be different from any equipment of serial ports. And the data format

and baud rate settings must keep the same as those of the equipment connected to the serial port RS-232 or

RS-485.

You must choose one of the following operation modes: Serial Master, Serial Slave and Serial Device Server for

IFD9506 in DCISoft.

Serial Master and Serial Slave modes:

For the request-response communication. The upper computer must have received the response or the set

timeout time is exceeded before the next communication starts.

Serial Device Server mode:

For the two-way communication, the connection must be established by the Ethernet terminal at first and

afterward the communication is not limited to the request -response mode, e.g., the master can conduct one

request, multiple receptions, or just receptions without any request .

For both Serial Master and Serial Slave modes, you can choose RS-485 or RS-232 as the serial communication

port in DCISoft and the communication protocol can be Modbus or User Define communication (UD link).

For the Serial Device Server mode, you can only select UD link.

As a serial communication master, IFD9506 transfers the communication instruction from the Ethernet client /
