Setting device bus address
All SimpleMotion V2 compatible devices have a settable address that identifies the device on a multidrop communication bus. Each device on the sharint the same bus must have an unique address number to make error free communication possible. For example configuring bus address is required to establish a connection with Granity software.
If two or more devices are incorrectly set to have same address, packet collisions will happen in the bus causing communication failures.

The method of how address is set depends on device hardware implementation. This chapter lists methods for Granite Devices products.
