Multi-axis Cascaded Systems
Introduction
This chapter describes cascaded multi-axis drive operation and provides wiring
examples for cascaded multi-axis drive systems.
Cascaded Configurations
For cascaded drives, connect the safety switches to the safety inputs (SS_In) of
only the first axis. The inputs are cascaded from one drive to the next by
connecting the outputs from the previous drive to the inputs of the next drive.
