AXC-S CardFrame Server Card

Overview

The AXC-S CardFrame Server Card (FIG. 1) is a processor card that

manages communication among control cards in a CardFrame. This card is

included in both a Master (AXF-M/S) and Server (AXF-S) CardFrame.

This card is essential to convert AXlink signals and communicate

backplane signals to the other AXC cards present in a CardFrame.

Specifications

Setting the AXlink Device DIP switch (S5)

The eight-position Device DIP switch (S1), shown in FIG. 2 assigns the

value to the CardFrame using the AXC-S card. The Device DIP switch

example is set to 1, the factory default setting.

The AXlink device number range is 1-255. The Device DIP switch positions

determines their values, based on the following table.

The dip switch sets the first address of the card frame with the other 15

slots following in order.

For example: if set to one, the card frame addresses are set from 1 to 16.

If set to two, the card frame addresses are set from 2 to 17.

The highest number allowable on the dip switch is 240 which would

make the last device address 255.

Installation

1. Locate the CS (Card Server) slot on the front of the Axcess

CardFrame.

2. Grasp the card from the handling grip location.

3. Slide the AXC-S card into the CardFrame until the rear connectors

“snap” into place.

4. Verify a secure connection to the rear of the unit.

5. Apply power to the CardFrame and verify a “one-blink” pattern on the

AXlink LED (CR1). Refer to the CR1 Specifications for more

information on blink patterns.
