Basic Rules

Each group is required to have one user interface. No group may have more than one user interface.

Each group can have up to seven Feed Heads. Exception: Group 3 is limited to a maximum of six Feed Heads.

Each system has only one power source. For net- work purposes, the PS belongs to Group 3, which is why group 3 is only allowed 6 feed heads in addition its user interface.

No two feed heads can have identical Group and Feed Head numbers.

Group and Feed Head ID numbers must be set on the appropriate dipswitches at each node. Consult the PF-10/11 Instruction Manual for specific details regarding dipswitch settings.

Feed head 0not allowed. Exception: Simple sys- tem ignores all ID numbers, therefore FH0will function.

Each node must be connected to the Linc-Net com- munication network. The order of connection is not important, as each node is identified by its unique Group and Feed Head ID number as defined on its dipswitches. See Figures A.8 thru A.12.
