2.8
The Step/Direction input socket
The Step/Direction input socket provides the same differential step/direction inputs as the 25-pin Sub-D socket. It is
electrically identical with those inputs.
2.9
The hexadecimal Switch
This switch is used to set the LSN of the CAN receive identifier and the RS485 address. If the switch is set to zero,
the CAN receive identifier and the RS485 address will be reset to 1 and the CAN send identifier will be reset to 2
(please see also section 3.2.2, 4.7.2 and 4.7.3). The position of the hexadecimal switch is only read after a hardware
reset. So it is required to power off the unit when changing the hexadecimal switch setting.
2.10
