Overview
A controller that handles several robots needs extra drive modules (one drive module per
robot). Up to four drive modules can be used, including the one assembled with the control
module.

One Ethernet cable and one safety signal cable for each additional drive module must be
connected to the control module. A MultiMove control module is equipped with an extra
Ethernet card to communicate with the additional drive modules.
This manual only describes what is specific for a MultiMove installation. For more
