Futaba S.Bus Servos - Manual (Page 2)

What is S.BUS?
Different from conventional radio control systems the S.BUS system uses
data communication to transmit control signals from a receiver to a servo,
gyro, or other S.BUS compatible device.
This data includes commands such as “move the channel 3 servo to 15
degrees, move the channel 5 servo to 30 degrees” to multiple devices. The
S.BUS devices execute only those commands for their own set channel.
For this reason, it can be used by connecting multiple servos to the same
signal line.

or CIU-2 USB serial interface
[Connecting conventional servos to the S.BUS]
Conventional servos can be connected to the S.BUS by using an S.BUS
decoder. The servo channel is set at the S.BUS decoder.
* Refer to the S.BUS decoder instruction manual for the S.BUS decoder channel
setting method.

* Can also be used together with conventional servos.
* Items required: S.BUS receiver, S.BUS servo, S.BUS hub, SBC-1 channel
changer or CIU-2 USB serial interface
[Procedure for use with the S.BUS system]
1. Set the channel at the S.BUS servos.
Set the channel at the S.BUS servos by using an S.BUS compatible
receiver, an SBC-1 channel changer or CIU-2 USB serial interface.
* Refer to the S.BUS compatible receiver, the channel changer or setting pro-
gram instruction manual for the S.BUS servo channel setting method.
2. Connect the servos to an S.BUS compatible receiver.
Connect the servos from the S.BUS port of the S.BUS compatible
receiver via S.BUS hubs.

* Operation is the same as that of a conventional servo.
* Items required: Receiver, S.BUS servo, CIU-2 (if changing the servo settings)
[Operation by conventional radio control]
An S.BUS servo connected to a conventional receiver operates as a
conventional servo. The channel becomes the receiver connection point.
*The contents set by programmable function are effective.
