VME Bus Address

Each VFI board must have a unique VME bus address. If you use only one force
sensor or if your VFI boards are factory-installed, your V
be configured properly. If you add VFI boards to a controller, you will have to set
the correct address. The address is set at DIP switch S1 and jumper J1 on the VFI
board.
The switch and jumper settings on the VFI board should be set as listed in
Table 11-1. These are necessary to establish proper communication with other
boards on the backplane. Confirm the switch and jumper settings before you
proceed with installation.

When you add multiple force sensors to an existing system, you must use the
utility program to specify which sensor is force sensor number 1,
CONFIG_C
which is number 2, and so on. See the
information on this process.
