8.2: MACRO Network
A Delta Tau PMAC card can hold up to four MACRO IC’s, each of which is a master on a
MACRO ring. Each master IC can address 16 stations (nodes, slaves), enabling the
addressing of up to 64 devices on a ring. Of these, 32 can be motion devices such as
Xenus XML. A node address is an 8-bit value with bits 7-4 addressing the master IC and
bits 3-0 addressing the slave.
XML switch S1 is set to select the master IC to which the Xenus will be linked. The four
possible values for this setting are 0,1,2, and 3.
As a MACRO station or node the XML has eight available addresses as a motion control
device. These are 0,1,4,5,8,9,12, & 13.
