a different address when all are used on the same computer port. Factory setting is No ID, or
SW4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 in the “Off” position.
Duplex Switch
Switch 1 of the four position DIP switch sets either half or full duplex mode. In half duplex
mode the serial data is not echoed back to the programming device for confirmation or
display. In full duplex mode the data is echoed back to the programming device allowing the
data to be verified. In most cases full duplex is the preferred mode of operation. Factory
setting is Full Duplex or SW1 in the “Off” position.
Note
All FX drives in a multi-drop configuration must be set to full duplex mode.
Auto Line Feed
Some programming devices do not automatically send a line feed (extra line space character)
when a carriage return is received from the FX drive. Switch 2, if “On”, will echo a line feed
character back to the programming device when a carriage return is received. This alters the
line spacing on the programming monitor. Factory setting is SW1 “Off” or No Line Feed
Echo.
Mode Select
The mode is selected with switches 3 and 4. Factory setting is “Off” for both SW3 and SW4.
