Installation
DIN Rail Mounting
IMPORTANT
The equipment must be electrically grounded through the DIN rail for EMC
compliance. Make sure that the equipment is correctly mounted on the rail and
that the rail is properly grounded.

Rotary Switch Settings
Rotary Switches Default Setting
By default, the value on the three rotary switches are set to 000.
Figure 4. Rotary switches default setting 000.
Set a Node Address with Rotary Switches
About the Rotary Switch Settings
To set a node address for the PROFIBUS server, use the rotary switches located
on the top front of the Communicator.
TIP
Use Windows Calculator (or similar application) to convert between hexadecimal
(hex) and decimal (dec).
- The default node address setting is 000.
- When the node address setting is 000, you can sett the node address via the Communicator built-in web interface.
- The node address values are set in hexadecimal (hex).
- Minimum value is 00.
- Supports PROFIBUS node addresses 0-126 Dec (0-7E Hex).
- Each node address may only occur once in the network.
- The node address is read from the center rotary switch x16 to the front rotary switch x1.
- The rear rotary switch is not used, ensure that it is set to 0.
Before You Begin
Ensure that the Communicator is disconnected from power.
Figure 5. Disconnect Communicator from power
Procedure
Use a screwdriver to change the rotary switch position. Ensure that the rotary
switches engage correctly.
Example 1. To set the node address 12 hex = 18 dec
- The rear rotary switch A is not used, ensure that it is set to 0.
- Set the center rotary switch B to 1 hex.
- Set the front rotary switch C to 2 hex.
The center rotary switch B 1 hex = 1 dec and the front rotary switch C 2 hex = 2 dec. The node address expressed in decimal numbers is therefore 16 x 1 + 2 = 18.
Example 2. To set the node address 7E hex = 126 dec
- If the rear rotary switch A is not used, ensure that it is set to 0.
- Set the center rotary switch B to 7.
- Set the front rotary switch C to E.
The center rotary switch B 7 hex = 7 dec and the front rotary switch C E hex = 14 dec. The node address expressed in decimal numbers is therefore 16 x 7 + 14 = 126.
To Do Next
Connect the Communicator to power. See Connect to Power (page 16).
Figure 6. Connect Communicator to power
Result
The set node address is active as soon as the Communicator is powered on.
NOTE
Changing the address settings on the rotary switches during operation is
ignored. For a new address to take effect, power cycle the Communicator.
Connect to Power
CAUTION
Ensure that the power supply is turned off before connecting it to the
equipment.
IMPORTANT
Using the wrong type of power supply can damage the equipment. Ensure that the
power supply is connected properly and of the recommended type Before you
connect the Communicator to power, ensure that the PROFIBUS address is set on
the rotary switches. If the PROFIBUS address is set when the Communicator is
operating, you must power cycle the Communicator for the new setting to take
effect.

Security Switch
NOTE
After completing the configuration of the Communicator, lock the security
switch to prevent unauthorized access to the Communicator built-in web
interface.
When the security switch is in its locked position, the Communicator built-in web interface can not be accessed and the Communicator can not be configured using the built-in web interface. Network specific parameters, configured via the PLC is still available.
**To Lock and Unlock the Security Switch
**
Figure 8. Security switch in locked and unlocked position
Use a pointed object, such as a ballpoint pen
- To lock the security switch, push the toggle towards the Communicator front.
- To unlock the security switch, push the toggle towards the Communicator back.
Security Switch Status LED
Figure 9. Security switch locked status LED
When the security switch is in its:
- locked position, the security switch status LED turn solid green.
- unlocked position, the security switch status LED is turned off.
Lock the Cables
Figure 10. Lock the cables
To strain relieve the cables, place a cable tie in the holder and lock the
cables.
DIN Rail Demount
Before You Begin
IMPORTANT
Be careful when removing the Communicator from the DIN-rail. If not removed
properly, the DIN rail locking mechanism and the product cover can break.
Have a flat-blade screwdriver, size 5.5 mm, available.
Procedure
Remove the Communicator from the DIN Rail:
- Insert the screwdriver into the Communicator DIN rail locking mechanism.
- To unlock the Communicator DIN rail locking mechanism, turn the screwdriver clockwise.
Figure 11. Unlock the Communicator
Hold the screwdriver in the DIN rail locking mechanism while you unhook the Communicator from the DIN rail.
Figure 12. Unhook the Communicator
Configuration
Connect to PC and Power
Figure 13. Connect to PC and Power
- Connect an Ethernet cable between the Communicator configuration port and your PC.
- Connect the Communicator to a power supply.
Find the Communicator on Your PC
The Communicator default IP address is 192.168.0.10. To be able to access the
Communicator built-in web interface.
- Option 1| Set a static IP address on the PC On the PC accessing the Communicator built-in web interface, set a static IP address within the same IP address range as the Communicator IP address. To access the Communicator built-in web interface, ensure that port Port 80 TCP is open in your PC Windows Firewall. Note that when you change to a static IP address on your PC, internet access is lost.
- Option 2 | Change the IP address on the Communicator configuration port Use the software application HMS IPconfig to find and change the IP address on the Communicator configuration port, to one within the same IP address range as the PC accessing the Communicator built-in web interface.
To download the installation files, please visit www.anybus.com/support and enter the product article number to search for the Communicator support web page. You find the product article number on the product cover.
Configure the Communicator
Figure 14. The Communicator built-in web interface Home page
Open the Communicator built-in web interface in HMS IPconfig or enter the
Communicator IP address in your web browser. The built-in web interface takes
you through the steps to configure the Communicator.
