12.2 Interconnection of operators
12.2.1 Interconnection cable
Interconnection cable is used for controlling several operators with one operation mode selectors
(OMS) and for synchronization. Operators can communicate with each other by connecting an
interconnection cable between the operators.
Cable connection:
Pin1 to Pin 1... Pin 8 to Pin 8

12.2.2 Hardware configuration for interconnection
When interconnecting more than two units (MCU and operation mode selector (OMS)) to the external
bus, only the two end units must be terminated. To make this, the jumper JMP shall be removed
from the middle MCU. When the jumper is removed the termination is removed.
Maximum 2 MCU can be interconnected together with 1 OMS.
Total maximum cable length is 500m. Use a straight-through shielded twisted pair (STP/FTP) CAT5/
CAT5e cable if the length exceeds 30m or is in electrically disturbing environment.
