2. Setting the terminal numbers (IRC machine numbers)
master and satellite
It is assumed that your terminal’s setting for inline operations has been performed.
1.
Enter the PGM2 mode.
2.
Select “INLINE SETTING” and press the [ENTER]
key.
3.
Enter a terminal number (0 - 254) and press the
[ENTER] key.
(For programming for BMA MACHINE No. and
SYSTEM RETRY, see pages 31 - 32.)
4.
Repeat steps 1 to 3 for all machines in the IRC
system.
NOTE
Terminal numbers must be assigned to the master and each satellite in the IRC system.
(For setting the master’s terminal number, see the next paragraph.)
If an inline network contains two or more machines with the same terminal number, IRC
communications will not be achieved correctly. Each terminal number must be unique.
The terminal number should be within the range from 1 to 254.
If the terminal number “000” is programmed for a machine, it is put in the OFF LINE mode and
cannot take part in IRC communications.
