Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev C 127
10.3 VMEbus Address
Each MI3/MI6 module must have a unique VMEbus address. The information in
Table 10-1 shows how to set the address when you have multiple modules in an Adept
MV controller. If you purchased the Adept MV controller from Adept with all the motion
modules installed, the correct DIP switch settings will have already been set for you by
Adept.
The address is set at DIP Switch SW1 on the MI3/MI6 PC board. To operate the switch,
use a small insulated instrument, such as the point of a pencil. Each switch position is a
miniature rocker switch. To open a switch, press down on the side of the switch marked
“open”. See the AdeptMotion VME Developer’s Guide for the location of the switch.
NOTE:
In systems with a VJI module (Adept robot systems) in addition to
MI3/MI6(s), the first MI3/MI6 module should be set to Servo Board
Number 3. This is to facilitate optimal processor allocation for the servo
code with the default V
+
software configuration.
10.4 Jumper Settings and Resistor Configuration on MI3/MI6
See the AdeptMotion VME Developer’s Guide for information on the correct settings for the
switches, jumpers, and resistor packs on the MI3/MI6 module.

The position notation on DIP switches can vary. If the switch is marked
open/closed, then open = off and closed = on.
