2.7. Aeronet Interface (J209/J210)
The Aeronet interface is used to connect discrete Ensemble HLes to make a multi-axis system. The Aeronet
connection requires a shielded CAT-6 Ethernet cable. If a non-shielded cable is used, communication
failures will likely occur.
When connecting a PC using Ethernet or USB to a multi-axis system, you must connect the PC to the
primary Ensemble HLe using the standard Ethernet or USB connectors. Connecting the PC to any of the
secondary units will result in a connection failure.
Any discrete unit is capable of acting as the primary Ensemble HLe. The unit acting as the primary is
dictated by the connection of the Aeronet. A primary drive will only act as an output. A secondary drive (in a
configuration with three or more drives) will act as an input and output. The last drive connected in any
configuration will only act as an input.
