10 Hardware Setup
SW1 Setting
SW1 establishes how many servo nodes and which servo nodes, will be used on the 16-Axis MACRO
CPU station for MACRO IC 0. It also establishes the mapping of MACRO node numbers to MACRO
Station channel numbers – the second mapping step explained in the overview. This mapping
information will be important in establishing the software setup. The following table shows the possible
configurations and the SW1 settings to achieve them.

SW2 Setting
The setting of rotary switch SW2 on the 16-Axis MACRO CPU board determines the number (0 to 15) of
the master for MACRO IC 0. The master number for MACRO IC 1 it is SW1+1. That same master
number on a Turbo PMAC2 will be the one exchanging data with one on the 16-Axis MACRO CPU.
This establishes the third mapping step explained in the overview.
The Turbo PMAC2 can support up to four active MACRO ICs. The master numbers for these ICs are set
by I6841, I6891, I6941, and I6991. This setup is covered in the next section.
Note:
The master number of a MACRO IC on a Turbo PMAC2 is not necessarily the
same as the MACRO IC number (0, 1, 2, or 3) itself. However, if there is only a
single Turbo PMAC2 on the ring, it is probable that each MACRO IC on the
Turbo PMAC2 will be assigned a master number equal to the IC number.
