8. Identify-Function

Every BiDiB module has an "Identify" function for indicating in the tree view or on the
module itself. Some railroad controlling programs use this function for adding new
nodes automatically and registering their settings.

9.1 What is a BiDiB-Unique-ID?
For working with the BiDiBus all BiDiB modules need to have an Unique-ID which can
be found as a label on the casing of the ReadyRS.

The function can be triggered on both sides
(module <-> computer tool).
If the button (H)
matching entry in the tree view changes its
colour from green to red. Identify can also be
used the other way round. If the module in
question is selected with a right click and the op-
tion "Identify" is chosen the BiDiB identify LED
(2) on the module will light up.
The Unique-ID is a unique identifier.
This identifier enables the system
to find the module regardless of its
position within the BiDiBus.
The BiDiB-System has a kind of
„telephone book" where to find a
module.
