The address is changed by setting a dip-switch positioned on the bottom of the drive. This 
switch must only be activated when the drive is turned off at the main isolator. Addresses from 1 
to 16 may be selected, and Fig. 2 shows the different combinations. 
 
When the MC12 is started, the whole network is initialised. The MC12 makes a global enquiry 
on the network and receives feedback from the individual drives, allowing it to record how many 
and which types of drives are available on the network. 
 
When the drives have started their filling operations with their respective parameters, the MC12 
will continuously scan the network to record when the drives have completed their tasks. 
 
Finally all the counters are updated and the next job instruction (if any) is transmitted.
