Changing The Voltage Setting; Resolving Address Conflicts; Windows 95 - Eshed Robotec Controller-PC User Manual

Changing the Voltage Setting

If the power box's voltage setting does not match your AC power supply, you must
change the power box's voltage setting and AC power fuse.
1. Disconnect the power box from the AC power source.
Disconnect the power cable from the power box.
2. Using a pen or screwdriver, push the voltage selector to the opposite
side, so that the proper voltage selection is visible.
3. Again using a pen or screwdriver, pull out the fuse drawer.
Remove the fuse from its holder.
4. Replace the fuse with the appropriate fuse for your power supply:
• 110VAC requires 1.6A fuse.
• 220VAC requires 0.8 fuse.
5. Reinsert the fuse drawer and press it until it snaps into place.

Resolving Address Conflicts

By default, the PC servo control card uses eight consecutive addresses, 0300-0308, and
interrupt 7.
Other devices may occupy the address space used by the servo control card, causing the
software to report an address error or to perform unreliably. The following instructions
will help you resolve the address conflict.

In Windows 95 you can easily determine which IRQ and I/O addresses are available or in
use. Do the following:
