  • Page 36 In the temperature controller, a value equivalent to 2 words (32 bits) is stored for each communications address, but in the test function, the first 16 bits and the last 16 bits behave as one and the same value. For that reason, test function will not operate successfully when 2 word numbers are designated.

This because, setting is done using the method by which a selection is made from a list of accessible addresses for each temperature controller model. However, in below cases in which the address is not selected from the list of accessible addresses an invalid address may have been assigned.
