Fieldbus settings

Fieldbus settings can be accessed via the Settings view menu in AX Manager. The tables below list the setting parameters for each supported fieldbus. The fieldbus settings view varies according to the fieldbus module used.

Changing fieldbus settings

1. Select the settings parameter for adjustment.
2. Select the settings value.

>>  Depending on the settings parameter to be adjusted, refer also to the Fieldbus settings tables below for more details.

3. Confirm the new value / selection and close the adjustment view by selecting 'Save'.
