Using Multi-Drive Mode
This chapter provides information to explain how to use Multi-Drive
mode.
The DSI interface provides a means to connect up to five drives on one
node daisy-chained over the RS-485 interface. Two adapter operating
modes, Single or Multi-Drive, are possible.
Single mode is a typical network installation, where a single Profibus
node consists of a single drive with a 22-COMM-P adapter (
Figure 7.1 ).
In this mode, the adapter can talk to one host, and the host can support
one additional external peripheral (HIM or 22-SCM-232 or 1203-USB)
over DSI.
