Selector Switch / Jumper Settings

Selector Switch /Jumper Settings

On the MCIM boards, a six-position selector switch (Figure 11-24) provides a software system reset function and specifies controller configuration options. On the MIDS3 boards, these same functions are provided by several 2-pin jumper posts (Figure 11-25).

Figure 11-25: Two-Pin Jumper Posts

For normal operation, all switches should be set to ON and jumper plugs should NOT be installed on the jumper posts.

The slider switch assignments on the selector switch and the board designators for the jumper posts are defined in Table 11-15

Switch	Jumper Posts	Description
1	J10	Software Reset. Set to ON for normal operation. Set to OFF to ignore the standard configuration files. If set to OFF when the system is restarted, the default configuration files (*.PAC) are applied instead of the standard files. This setting is utilized if a configuration file becomes corrupted or a setting inadvertently makes the system unusable.
2	J8	Master or Slave node in a multiple controller servo network. This switch is normally set to ON to indicate the controller is operating standalone or is the Master in a servo network. Must be set to OFF to indicate that the controller is to startup as a Slave in a servo network.
3		TBD. Should be set to ON.
4		TBD. Should be set to ON.
5		TBD. Should be set to ON.
6		TBD. Should be set to ON.
