Configuring the Card

Overview

Setting the Shield Tie Point

Configuring the card consists of selecting the shield tie point, and setting the card address.

If a shielded cable is used, connect the cable shield to the dedicated terminal on TB1 and use jumper port (P1) to select where the shield will be tied.

Position 1 - 2 connects the shield to 0 V.

Position 2 - 3 connects the shield to Earth.

Setting the Address

The card address is set on DIP switch SW1, which is a bank of eight switches (see figure

 

below). From left to right, these switches are designated as SW1-1 through SW1-8. The

 

function of these switches is as follows:

 

SW1-1. This switch sets the baud rate for the internal communications line

 

 

running between the card and the CPU. Set this switch to ON.

 

SW1-2 through SW1-8. These switches set the card’s address within the

 

 

4100U-S1. Refer to the table in Appendix A for a complete list of the switch

 

 

settings for all of the possible card addresses.

 

Note:

You must set these switches to the value that was assigned to the card

 

 

by the 4100U Programmer.
