Chapter 9 VME Bus Address
176 Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev. B
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
switch, use a small insulated instrument, such as the point of a pencil. Each switch
position is a miniature rocker switch. To open a switch, press down on the side of
the switch marked “open”. See AdeptMotion VME Developer’s Guide for the
location of the switch.
NOTE:
In systems with an EJI board (Adept robot systems) and
MI3/MI6(s), the first MI3/MI6 board should be set to servo board
number 3. This allows optimal processor allocation for the servo
code with the default V
+
software configuration.

The position notation on DIP switches can vary. If the switch is marked
open/closed, then open = off and closed = on.
