3.2 Node address setup in Inter-module communication
In MINAS A6 Multi, driver modules up to maximum number of connections are connected to one power
supply module, and inter-module communication is used to exchange information between these modules.
For maximum number of connections, refer to "REFERENCE SPECIFICATIONS Power supply module
section (SX-DSV03452)".
In order to identify each driver module in this inter-module communication, the node address must be
set to a different value using the DIP switch on the front panel of the driver module.
Also, parameter setting / change, monitoring, alarm confirmation, etc. of the power supply module can
be performed through the USB, EoE communication connector only from the driver module with the node
address set to 1.
Be sure to set the node address to 1 for one of the driver modules connected to the power supply module.

Setup procedure for node address in Inter-module communications
Assign a node address to each driver module and set it with the DIP switch. Switch the DIP switch ON /
OFF and set in binary.
The setting range is 1 to 63. Do not set out of range.
If it is set outside the range, Err69.5 "Inter-module communication ID setting error protection" occurs.
Set the dip switch of each digit to OFF to set "0", and to ON to set "1".
The first digit on the right side (6 is printed) when viewed from the front.
(Configuration example)
When setting 5 (binary: 000101) for module address

Assign inter-module communication node addresses so that they do not overlap in each
module. If it is duplicated, Err69.5 "Inter-module communication ID setting error
protection" occurs.

The inter-module communication node address of the power supply module is assigned to
"0" at the time of shipment, and Err69.5 is always generated when the power is turned on
as it is. Before use, assign a non-zero communication node address between modules.

Dip switch setting changes are enabled when the control power is turned on.
