Setting PLCID using Tbasic

[PESPLC]

Is there a way to set the PLC ID using Tbasic?  If no TBASIC command that does this directly is there an eprom address that can be modified?

If so please provide an example.

many thanks.

Currently there is no command in TBASIC that allows it to set ID. We figure that it is not very safe if a program is able to modify its own ID which can cause trouble to a network of devices that are connected via RS485.

The ID is stored in an EEPROM address which is not accessible by the SAVE_EEP command. These are meant to protect the integrity of the system.

We have added this as part of the "wish list" features for future development.

OK, I'll work around it.

My plan was to use a dip switch to set the address in a multidrop system but I can do it with the server.
