CREATING A SLAVE DATA BOARD
1 Introduction
The main master Data Mother Board occupies the ‘Data Interface 1-5’ slot and
provides data channels 1 to 5. A further 5 channels are provided by fitting a slave Data
Mother Board to the ‘Data Interface 6-10’ slot. A slave board can be created by making
a slight modification to a master board as described below.
2 Tools Required
• Soldering iron.
• Tweezers
3 Creating the Slave Data Mother Board
• Identify the positions of resistors R15 and R16 in the lower left-hand corner of the
board. See figure 1.
• With the soldering iron, lift the right-hand side of resistor R15 clear, so that it is
isolated from the solder pad on the board. See figure 2.
• With the soldering iron, lift the right-hand side of resistor R16 clear, so that it is
isolated from the solder pad on the board. See figure 2.
• Attach a ‘SLAVE’ label to the connector PL1. See figure 3.
• Mark the top of the connector SK1 (25 D-type) with a label marked ‘S’ so that it is
visible from above. See figure 3.
3 To Restore a Slave back to a Standard Master Data Mother Board
Re-solder resistors R15 and R16 back on the board and remove the ‘SLAVE’ and ‘S’
labels.
