Setting the MACHINE #
The
MACHINE #
determines the position of a
VS-66FW
unit, specifying
which
VS-66FW
unit is being controlled when several
VS-66FW
units
connect to a PC or serial controller. Set the
MACHINE #
on a
VS-66FW
unit
via DIPS 1, 2, 3 and 4, according to Table 4.
When using a stand-alone
VS-66FW
unit, set the
MACHINE #
to 1. When
connecting more than one
VS-66FW
unit, set the first machine that is closest
to the PC, as
MACHINE #
1.
