DIP Switch Settings

The DIP switch numbers and their corresponding functions are shown in Figure 29 "FX Drive

Front Panel DIP Switches" on page 41.

Each function is described in the following paragraphs.

Baud Rate Switches

Switches 1, 2 and 3 of the eight position DIP switch are used to match the baud rate of the

drive to the baud rate of the programming device. If the two baud rates are not the same, serial

communication will not be possible. Factory setting is 4800 (SW1 “Off”, SW2 “Off”, SW3

“On”).

Axis Identifier Switches

Switches 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 set a unique address for each drive in a multi-axis application. This

allows each axis to be addressed individually over the same multi-drop serial cable. The

addresses are 1 through 9, and A through V. Each axis in a multi-axis application must have
