A MultiMove robot system contains either a Single Cabinet Controller (an integrated Control
Module and Drive Module as shown in the illustration above) or a separate Control Module
to which a number of Drive Modules (one for each robot being run by the system) have been

functional as multi robot systems, these systems must be re-configured.
