Piano switches 1 to 4 --- Address switches
Use these switches to set the address of the applicable actuator if two or more axes are connected to the
SIO connector. A desired address between 0 to 15 can be set.
(The factory setting is OFF for all of switch Nos. 1 to 4. This setting represents a condition where only one
axis is used.)
Use these switches to set a desired address for each controller. Make sure no address is duplicated among
the controllers. As long as they are unique, the addresses may not be contiguous and missing numbers are
allowed.
