Addressing Mode

X-BUS addressing can be configured in one of the 2 following ways:

Automatic addressing

With automatic addressing, the controller over-rides rotary switches and automatically assigns expanders and keypads in the system unique IDs in sequential order.

Manual addressing

Manual addressing allows manual determination of each expander/keypad ID in a system. All devices should be installed where required and each ID set manually using the rotary switches. The zones to ID can be calculated using the following formula: ((ID value X 8)+1)= first zone number and then the next 7 sequential zones. For example ((ID2 x 8)+1)=17. Zone 17 is allocated to input 1 on ID2. Each input has the next sequential zone allocated to it, in this case up to zone 24.

Note: ID limit for zone allocation SPC 4000: Expander ID 1–3. SPC 5000: Expander ID 1–15. SPC 6000: Expander ID 1–63.

If 2 devices of a kind (for example, expanders) are set to same ID, upon configuration, both expanders beep and the flashing LED indicates conflict. Reset the switches and the system rescans.

On a device, if both rotary switches are set to zero (0, 0), the full configuration becomes an automatic addressing configuration.

To select the ADDRESS MODE:

  1. Scroll to ADDRESS MODE.

  2. Press SELECT.

  3. Toggle for appropriate address mode: AUTOMATIC or MANUAL

  4. Press SELECT to update the setting.
