TBC/MicroSYNC/V-Scope ID Byte
This byte is the unique code that precedes the exclusive data that identifies DPS products.
Unit Address Byte
This Byte determines which card the following command is directed to. Every TBC IV, Switcher and MicroSYNC card
has five DIP Switches that are normally used to determine the card address. Refer to the installed cards' operator's
manuals on how to set the cards’ addresses. Cards installed in different ES-2200s must each have a unique address.
There are thirty-two possible addresses that could be assigned to each TBC IV or MicroSYNC card. It is up to the user
to assign a unique address to each TBC, Switcher or MicroSYNC installed inside an ES-2200. There are three rules that
must be followed when setting a card address inside an ES-2200:
The Address of the ES-2200 must be set to the same address as the card installed in the UNIT 1 slot. Set DIP Switches
5, 4, 3, 2 and 1on the ES-2200T front panel or DIP Switches 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2 on the
ES-2200S in same direction as DIP Switches 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 respectively on the card installed in the UNIT 1 slot
(except V-Scopes). For example, if the card in the UNIT 1 slot had its DIP Switches set to:
3 UP
4 DOWN
5 DOWN
6 DOWN
7 DOWN
Then the switches inside the front of the ES-2200T chassis should be set to:
1 DOWN
2 DOWN
3 DOWN
4 DOWN
5 UP
Or the switches inside the front of the ES-2200S chassis should be set to:
2 DOWN
3 DOWN
4 DOWN
5 DOWN
6 UP
The address of the card installed in the UNIT 2 slot must be one address greater than that of the card installed in the
UNIT 1 slot.
The Baud rate of the all the cards and of the ES-2200 front panel should be the same. The Default factory setting is
9600 BPS.
Unlike the TBC, Switcher or MicroSYNC cards, all V-SCOPES respond to address byte 10 Hex. Therefore all
V-SCOPES in a system will respond to any V-SCOPE command regardless of the ES-2200 address. Only one
V-SCOPE can be installed in the ES-2200. V-Scopes should be installed in the UNIT 2 slot only. Contact DPS if you
require two V-Scopes with independent addresses in one ES-2200.
