All dip switches are OFF (down).

However, in the case of multi-axis integrated drive unit (E.g. MDS-D/DH-V2-XXX), if there is unused
axis, set its dip switch to “ON” (up).

E.g.) In the case of three NC axes and one spindle. When two of MDS-D-V2-XX and one of MDS-D-SP-XX are
used.

As the 2nd axis isn’t used, set the second

switch from the left to ON (up).

<Note>
In the case of older versions than ver.A1, set the base common parameter #1240 set12/bit4 to”1”, and set the 4th dip
switch to “ON.
