NOTE:
• CAT-5 straight cables are required for connection. (User
supplied)
•BE SURE to cover each connected cable with a supplied
dust protector. Even if the cable has its own cover,
replace it with the supplied dust protector.
•KEEP the supplied connector caps attached when the
connectors are not in use, to avoid getting bad contacts
from dust and moisture.
Each controller has a LAN connector and two BUS
connectors.
q[LAN] connector
For an Ethernet connection. Connect the controller to an
Ethernet (LAN) port of a PC.
In the Trunking mode, the controller at one end of the
chain must be connected. You can control the controller
and all others in the chain from the PC.
w[BUS] connectors (BUS-1, BUS-2)
For data communication between the controllers in the
Trunking mode, either BUS-1 or BUS-2 can be used.
They enable the controllers to be “daisy-chained”
together, and form a network that allows trunking and
other data to pass among them.
LThe illustration below describes one example of a connection
for the Trunking mode.
