OPTIONS WINDOW In the main window under tools, select options.
Fieldbus configuration
DESCRIPTION During start-up, the fieldbus interface is initialized to fit the configuration created in the
EnerVista P485/D485 Setup software. Since EnerVista P485/D485 Setup supports both the
P485 and D485 converters, the user must verify that the 'Fieldbus' parameter indicates the
correct converter. Additionally, it is possible for advanced users to customize the network
interface inside the converter to meet specific application demands (see Advanced fieldbus
configuration on page 8–5 for details).
