Geo MACRO Drive User and Reference Manual
Software Setup 55
The following screen of the Setup program selects which method to use to bind the MACRO stations to
the MACRO controller.
Geo MACRO drives are using the Ring Order Method . After clicking the Next button the program will
use some time for its calculations.
The setup program will come back with any MACRO stations that were found with the Ring order
Method.
MS<node>,MI996 needs to be set manually on this screen to enable the nodes.
MI996 controls which of the MACRO nodes on the Geo MACRO Station are activated. It also controls
the master station number, and the node number of the packet that creates a synchronization signal.
Bits 0 to 15 are individual control bits for the matching node number 0 to 15. If the bit is set to 1, the
node is activated; if the bit is set to 0, the node is de-activated. Node 15 should always be activated to
support the Type 1 auxiliary communications.
Bits 16-19 specify the slave number of the packet which will generate the “sync pulse” on the Geo
MACRO Station. This is always set to 15 ($F) on the Geo MACRO Station.
