12.3 VMEbus Address

Each VFI module must have a unique VMEbus address. If you use only one force sensor

or if your VFI modules are factory-installed, your V

system should already be configured

properly. If you add VFI modules to a controller, you will have to set the correct address.

The address is set at DIP switch S1 and jumper J1 on the VFI module.

The switch and jumper settings on the VFI module should be set as listed in Table 12-1.

These are necessary to establish proper communication with other modules on the

backplane. Confirm the switch and jumper settings before you proceed with installation.

When you add multiple force sensors to an existing system, you must use the

CONFIG_C

utility program to specify which sensor is force sensor number 1, which is number 2, and

so on. See the AdeptForce VME User's Guide for more information on this process.
