Addressing
The UNI/16 has an eight-position DIP switch
for assigning the module’s CMnet address.
Before setting or changing the address, make
sure the UNI/16’s power is off, since the
UNI/16 only reads the address when the
module is turned on. After changing the
address, you must transfer memory to the
module. Refer to the section “Transferring
Memory”.
Switches two through eight of the DIP switch
are labeled with addressing values. The
values of the switches in the on position are
added together to determine the module’s
address. For example, in Figure 7 switch
numbers six and seven are both on, giving the
module an address of six.
Transferring Memory
The UNI/16 module can store the U1M
module driver and up to 16 Graphic Function
Blocks (GFBs), depending on the size of the
GFBs. All GFBs stored in the UNI/16 must be
made using the Zone GFB option in Eikon.
Refer to the
Eikon User’s Guide
for more
information.
To transfer GFBs to the UNI/16, you must use
SuperVision version 2.6b or later software,
and you must use FBLINK version 2.7a or
later. For more information about using
SuperVision, refer to the
SuperVision User’s
Guide
.
The first memory transfer to the UNI/16 takes
longer than subsequent memory transfers.
1. Connect your workstation or portable
computer to the UNI/16. Refer to
“Communicating with the Workstation” on
page 6.
2. Navigate to the module driver and look at
the module status report in SuperVision to
make sure the module type and number
agree with the module.
