What are the options for networking Servida Motors?
Daisy-Chain You can daisy-chain up to 100 Servida Motors using a single RS-232 port. Motor addressing is accomplished by command in the initialization segment of the stored user program. Commands are passed from the host to the first motor over the RS-232, then are repeated from on motor to the next until they arrive back at the host. Multi-Drop Using the optional RS485 converter, you can build a star configuration network with all motors in parallel. The RS-485 communication protocol is less susceptible to common mode noise than RS-232. In what applications is the I/O connector necessary? I/O connector is used in almost all applications where the Servida Motor is expected to interact directly with its application or environment. Common uses for the I/O connector are: Program Start Button Program Stop Button Emergency Stop Button I/O signaling from application Encoder following signal transmission Step-and-Direction signal transmission Monitoring of Servida Motor position by external d
