We are also presented with the IP address of the board (2), so clicking on the blue IP address takes
us to the Servo-8 management portal.
The Servo-8 port configuration is reported as:
The V-Port (1) is 1 meaning channel S1 (servo 1) is listening for this address (V-Port).
Remember this board has a CAN ID of 1000, and it generated a packet to V-Port 161. This is the
configured Feedback V-Port at the marker (3).
If we look at the packet under column D3 you’ll observe a “3” in the data byte. Where is this going?
The Output Ports section of the Panel Controller (1 left)
matches the Feedback V-Port of the Servo-8. It is this port that
is listening for the event.
The data value of “3” indicates to flash. This will cause the
panel Controller to flash the LEDs on physical port 1 and is used
to indicate a motor in motion.
When the centre of motion for the servo has been reached
another event is triggered to V-Port 321. Look at the Servo Port
Configuration above. See the Trigger V-Port is configured for 321. The trigger fires when the servo is
at its centre position. Particularly useful for firing a frog when the point blades are dead centre.
Looking at the relay driver port configuration (below) we observe:
