Setting the SELF ADDRESS Dipswitches
The SELF ADDRESS determines the position of a
VS-808DS
unit in the
sequence, specifying which
VS-808DS
unit is being controlled when several
VS-808DS
units are controlled by a PC or serial controller. Set the SELF
ADDRESS on a
VS-808DS
unit via DIPS 1, 2, and 3, according to Table 4.
When using a stand-alone
VS-808DS
unit, set the SELF ADDRESS to 1
When connecting more than one
VS-808DS
unit, set the first
machine (the Master) connected via RS-232, as SELF ADDRESS #
1. The Master connects to the PC via the RS-232 port. The other
VS-808DS
slave units (each set
1
to a SELF ADDRESS # between 2
and 8) interconnect via their RS-485 ports to the RS-485 port on the
Master
1 You do not have to number the units in the sequence order as they connect to the PC
