Can multiple SmartMotor operate from a single DC power supply?
Many SmartMotors can operate from a single power supply if the combined power demand (both peak and RMS) of all the motors does not exceed the capacity of the supply. The normal rules for sizing power supplies apply to sizing for multiple motors, be sure to account for line drops and demand saturation. In applications with multiple power supplies, remember that all power supplies must share a common ground configured to avoid ground loops and supporting the communications circuitry.
