6.4 Setting the MACHINE # DIP-Switches
The MACHINE # determines the address of a
VP-1608
unit when several
VP-1608
units are controlled by a PC or serial controller. Set the
MACHINE # on a
VP-1608
unit via DIPS 1, 2, and 3 (DIP 4 is for RS-485
When using a stand-alone
VP-1608
unit, set the MACHINE # to 1.
When connecting more than one
VP-1608
unit, set the first machine (the
Master) connected via RS-232, as MACHINE # 1. The other
VP-1608
slave
units (each set to a MACHINE # between 2 and 8) interconnect via their
RS-485 ports to the RS-485 port on the Master.
