4.8 Adding an additional IO connection to
RS485 interface
)see Figures 4/5, item 8
)see Figures 13/14
ATTENTION!
A separate address must be assigned to each
IO board!
To differentiate between multiple IOPCBs in
an RS485 daisy chain, each IOPCB needs its
own address.
This can be set in the binary code using the
DIP switch (address switch).
If all four DIP switches are set to top, the
address is "1". See Figure 13 for further
addresses.
Another IPCB communication connection can
be established using the two RS485 connec-
tors (5).
Up to 7 IOPCBs can be connected to a
mainboard. Each IOPCB must be supplied
separately.

5. Configuration by operator/local admin
General
There are two options for configuring the
controller:
o Configuration with PC software and USB
connection -see Chapter 6.1.
o The PC software application is designed for
Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8
operating systems and is included as data
media with the controller. The software can
also be downloaded as freeware from the
SKF website. After installing the program,
data transfer occurs via the USB interface
in the controller.
o SKF recommends this procedure for initial
installations.
o Configuration of the system using the
display attached to the controller and the
menu keys - see Chapter 5.1.
o The complete configuration can be done
via the controller display and the associ-
ated menu keys.

cation connection between an IO master and
an IO slave.
To connect two boards with each other, the
customer must prepare an adapter cable.
The cable must be shielded.
The plugs required for the adapter cable are
available on the respective board.
In the following please find further notes re-
garding the connection of the adapter cable.
SKF takes a separate voltage supply for each
board as given.
o SKF takes a separate voltage supply for
each board as given.
o The PE connection (ground) must be sepa-
rate for each board. Connection is made on
the respective board, see page 11, Fig. 9.
o The maximum admissible connected load of
each board is 3 A.
o In case of different potential-free outputs
make sure to use an adequate connection
line and a corresponding connection dia-
meter, see chapter 4.7.3.
o For each connection line the customer must
provide a correspondingly designed back-
up fuse.
