Communication Board (28.00003.100)
The Communication Board links the main processor on the front panel to all other
processors throughout the Control Unit. One Communication Board is designed to handle
up to sixteen drive output channels (i.e. four Driver Cards). The first Communication
Board, for channels 1 through 16, is always connected to the front panel (STRS458INT)
via a ribbon cable. Additional Communication Boards are “daisy-chained” to the first
board via a ribbon cable.
There is a DIP Switch on the Communication Board that must be properly set for the unit
to function. Below is a table to indicate the proper DIP Switch settings for different
channel capacity units.
S1 DIP Switch Setting Chart
Below is a chart to guide the setting of the S1 DIP Switches based on the number of
channels in the Control Unit. Note that the number of Communication Boards is
cumulative. Each preceding board must also be set properly within the unit.
EXAMPLE: A 44-Channel Control Unit will have a total of three Communication
Boards. S1 on the board for channels 1 through 16 will be set as per line #1 of the table
below. S1 on the board for channels 17 through 32 will be set as per line #2 of the table
following. S1 on the board for channels 33 through 44 will be set as per line #3 of the
table following.
