Control unit RK MultiControl II duo/RK MultiControl II quadro
The synchronisation bus is used for synchronous
movement of the drives which are connected to the
various control units (MultiControl II duo and
quadro).
Up to 8 control units can be connected to each
other via the DATA interfaces using a BUS cable.
In the process, different control units can be mixed
with each other.
If there are more than two connected control units,
the BUS cable must be equipped with a termi-
nating resistor (120 Ohms) at both the start and
end.
Only control units with the same software and
hardware versions can be connected to each other
