Multi-drop addressing
The power supply control has DIP switches to set the power supply ID.
DIP switches 2, 3, 4 are used to set the ID.

Systems with ID 0 power-up with the serial interface enabled. Systems with any other ID power-up with the serial
interface disabled.
To implement the multi-drop interface, the CNC must send the SLEEP command (086) which will put all systems on
the line into sleep mode. The WAKE command (085) with specific system ID will wake the system that the CNC wants
to communicate with. Any command can now be sent to that power supply, while all other systems will ignore the
communications. When the CNC is finished communicating with that power supply the SLEEP command must be sent,
then the WAKE command is used to communicate with the next system.
