Switch SW3
Set switch SW3 first. The settings on this switch determine how the
SCANport device uses the data contained in the programmable
controller I/O image table. SW3 also establishes the minimum rack
size that this communications module requires.
The switches are labeled in the same orientation as they appear on
the board.
Table 2.A, SW3 Image Table Map, and Figure 2.2, SW3 Flowchart,
are included to help you set the DIP switches properly. It may also
be helpful to color in the final switch settings in Figure 2.1 as a
visual record of your SW3 settings. Chapter 3 contains several
examples of how to fill in the worksheet and set these DIP switches.
