
Connect the PC to the RCU10 that is to be configured, using the PC cable provided.
Click the Receive button on the RCU CS screen. The connected RCU10 unit
should be detected with a default address of 1.

Select the Compensator Address function from the Configure menu. A
confirmation dialogue will appear, displaying the current RCU10 address setting.
Select Yes to change the address.

Enter the new system address in the window displayed. The addresses can be in
the range 1 to 6.
NOTE: Each unit must have a unique address before connection as part of a network, for
example a six-axis system must have RCU10s addressed as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. It is
important to ensure that compensators are numbered sequentially. They may be
connected in any order, however the physical end units must be identified in the software
for correct termination.

Once you have acknowledged the new address, the RCU CS will reset the RCU10
and re-establish communications. The connected RCU10 will now register with its
new address.

Repeat this process of setting network addresses for all RCU10 units in the system.
