Description
Item
This value is read by the CMT application from the switch setting
on the Model 493.43 System I/O Board. The displayed value is
read-only.
Important:
During system setup, the Model 493.43 System I/O Board
in one of the controllers must be set to 0 to provide a Master
Controller. If no controller or more than one controller is
designated as a Master, the controller network will not
operate.
Displays the address of the processor in four-part numerical
format, giving the processor a unique identification in its TCP/IP
network.
IP Address
All FlexTest SE Controllers are configured as Independent
Controller types. This selection is read-only.
Controller Type (FlexTest SE
Controllers only)
Specifies Master, Dependent, and Independent Controller
assignments. The CMT application automatically assigns Master
Controller Type (Aero ST
Controllers only)
and Dependent roles according to Controller ID settings. Any
controller that has a board ID of 0 is designated as a Master. To
change an assignment you must change the Controller ID number
on the Model 493.43 board.
Master: Specifies the network’s Master Controller. The Master
Controller synchronizes the distribution of command and data
acquisition to and from the Dependent Controllers, as well as
interfacing directly with system hydraulics.
Note:
CMT automatically assigns any controller that has a board
ID of 0 as a Master. A controller network must include one
Master (so if a controller network contains only one
controller, it must be a Master). However, a controller
network cannot have more than one Master.
Dependent: Specifies controllers that are subordinate to the Master
Controller.
