16 Reliance Communication Driver ManualStandard Communications ParametersThe standard communications parameters for communicating with Reliance AutoMate PLCs are:8 Data bits1 Stop bitNo Parity9600 BaudSerial Communication CardThis card must be set to the correct baud rate unless you use the default value on one of the three ports(9600, 4800, 1200). The card uses its slot number as its node number by default. Both the defaultbaud rate and the node number may be changed either by changing it in a program in the PLC or bymeans of a programming terminal.R-Net Gateway Switch LocationsThe port parameters may be set on the Gateway using the switches located inside the module. Thefollowing figure shows the DIP switch locations.The Gateway must be connected to an R-Net Processor. This processor must be set to a unique nodenumber. To do this, set the node number using the rotary switches on the front panel of the processor.Remember that the node number is entered here in hexadecimal. The upper rotary switch is used forthe high-order digit and the lower switch for the low-order digit.
