VME Bus Address

Each MI3/MI6 board must have a unique VME bus address. The information in
Table 9-1 shows how to set the address when you have multiple boards in an
Adept controller. If you purchased the Adept controller from Adept with all the
motion boards installed, the correct DIP switch settings already will have been set
for you by Adept.
The address is set at DIP Switch SW1 on the MI3/MI6 board. To operate the

the switch marked "open". See
