Two types of address setting methods
There are two types of address setting methods for the AnyWire POKAYOKE terminal, and the type depends on the terminal.
One is a type to use a DIP switch for setting, and the other is a type to use an address writer to read and write address in a non-contact state.
Unless the address is mistakenly set even if POKAYOKE terminals of two types of address setting methods are combined, it will operate without any problem. However, combining these may result in an address setting error at the time of installation, maintenance or expansion. Therefore, it is not recommended.
“Structure of address” common to all AnyWire POKAYOKE terminals is explained before operation of respective address setting types and setting methods are described.
Structure of address
AnyWire POKAYOKE terminals inform of the existence of terminals to a controller on the upper order by setting the head address of individual terminals. The address is represented by a decimal number, and can be set in units of 1 bit or 16 bits (it differs by product).
*Maximum number of points varies with the system configuration. Contact us for details.
Examples of setting in the case that some types of POKAYOKE terminals are combined are shown below.
*For a terminal of 7-segment 3 digits, address is set in units of 16 points (16 bits).
The value is set every 16 points regardless of the number of occupied points of immediately previous terminals.
The address of the fi rst address is “0.” Then, the address of the next terminal is, as a rule,
“address set value of immediately previous terminal” + “number of occupied points of immediately previous terminal (Number of inputs or outputs, whichever is greater),
and values for the number of occupied points are sequentially added.
As the number of occupied points differs with each terminal, refer to and confirm by the introduction page of each product. And because the address can be set only in units of 16 points for some terminals, it is necessary to set it to a value larger than the above calculated value and multiples of 16.
It is not necessary that the address set values are in connecting order. If addresses are set without duplication even when the connecting orders are exchanged by remodeling or expansion, operation can be made. And it is not necessary to always set without a margin. If there are number of points to spare and expansion, etc., is expected in the future, skip some addresses when setting.
Address setting by DIP switch
Set an address by DIP switch with the slide cover of the POKAYOKE terminal body opened. Be careful of the following points when setting an address.
- ◇ Operate the DIP switch with the power for the POKAYOKE terminal turned off.
Change in a power-on state may cause unexpected motion, which is very dangerous. - ◇ Use a non-conductive rod with a thin tip, etc., and make sure to perform ON/OFF operation of the DIP switch.
*There are some products of which the DIP switch is very small and difficult to operate by finger. - ◇ Confirm that there is no mixture of foreign matter in the cover after setting, and make sure to completely close the slide cover.
Address setting by address writer
To set an address by address writer, it is necessary to use an address writer compatible with your POKAYOKE terminal. There are the following two types of address writers.
- Address writer ARW-04
This writer can be used for all POKAYOKE terminals.
When it is difficult to hold ARW-04 at narrow locations, use an optional remote head.

When setting an address, be careful of the following.
- ◇ Perform operations of address setting by the address writer with power fed to the POKAYOKE terminal, and reset the power after completion of setting to reflect the setting.
When any change is made in direct mode, the changed content will be immediately reflected. Please keep in mind that when a change is made unexpected movement may occur, and this can be dangerous. - ◇ Refer to and confirm by the manual for details.
