Configuring the Rotary Encoding Switch
Each bus coupler automatically receives an EtherCAT device identification address. Use the
rotary encoding switch to configure the address manually.
The S1 switch sets the tens digit and the S2 switch sets the ones digit. The code results from
the equation (S1 x 10) + S2.
The following figure shows code 77 (7 x 10 + 7).

After setting the rotary switches, restart the REM-11180 to update the address assignment.
Note NI EtherCAT master does not support the rotary encoding switch on the
REM-11180.
Restoring Default Settings
To restore the REM-11180 to default settings, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect power to the REM-11180.
2. Press and hold the reset button.
3. Power on the REM-11180.
4. Release the button when the RDY LED flashes red and green.
