Setting the Sercos III Address
The Sercos III address of the TM5NS31 module is set by using two rotary switches. The address is preset to 0 by default. This way, an automatic addressing is triggered.
NOTE: Only addresses from 1 to 239 are permitted.
The Sercos III address at the rotary switches is in hexadecimal notation.
The following figure shows the rotary switches:

Sercos III Address Setting Example
The following figure shows an example when the Sercos III address is configured to 181 (decimal):
(x16) High-order rotary switch: set to B (Hex) = 11 (decimal)
(x1) Low-order rotary switch: set to 5 (Hex) = 5 (decimal)
Sercos III address = 11x16 + 1x5 = 181
