Configuring the Matrix
4.3 Adding and Deleting Switches
The following rules apply when adding a switch to the Matrix Configuration (the
desired ID to add is referred to as the “target ID”):
‐ The desired switch to ADD must be connected to the matrix before
executing the ADD procedure.
‐ If the connected switch is a 0 switch AND the target ID is not yet configured
AND a switch possessing the target ID is not already connected, then the 0
switch will change its ID to the target ID and the Configuration will be
updated.
‐ If the connected switch is a 0 switch AND the target ID is already configured
AND a switch possessing the target ID is not already connected, AND the 0
switch’s number-of-positions data matches that of the Configuration’s, then
the 0 switch will change its ID to the target ID.
‐ If the connected switch is an N switch AND the target ID=N is not yet a
configured ID, then the N switch will be added, i.e. the Configuration will be
updated.
‐ If the connected switch is an N switch AND the target ID=N is already a
configured ID, AND the N switch’s number-of-positions data matches that of
the Configuration’s, then the N switch will be added, i.e. the Configuration
will be updated (actually, the ID isn’t really added since the ID is already
configured, however a Configuration match is performed).
The following rules apply when deleting a switch from the Configuration (the
desired ID to delete is referred to as the “target ID”):
‐ Only an N switch may be deleted from a Configuration; 0’s are not
Configurable .
‐ If the N switch to delete is connected and is not a Configured ID, AND a zero
switch is not connected, then the N switch will be returned to a 0 switch.
‐ If the N switch to delete is connected and is already a Configured ID, AND a
zero switch is not connected, then the N switch will be removed from the
Configuration and its ID set to 0 (i.e. turning the N switch into a 0 switch).
‐ If the N switch to delete is connected and is already a Configured ID, AND a
zero switch is connected, then the N switch will be removed from the
Configuration, but the N switch’s ID will remain N.
‐ If the N switch to delete is not connected and is already a Configured ID, then
the ID will be removed from the Configuration
NOTE:
THE MATRIX MUST BE POWER CYCLED AFTER MAKING ANY CHANGES TO THE
CONFIGURATION BEFORE THOSE CHANGES BECOME FULLY APPARENT.
NOTE:
Keep unused switches stored as 0 switches. Label switches that are dedicated to particular
CAN Bus IDs on the switch’s enclosure.
