Example:
Remark: All the position controllers (slave axes) can be connected together. The only rule to respect is to
have 31 slaves maximum.
5.3 Multi-axis configuration with micro-master
In this configuration, the controllers are also linked in daisy-chain. The master is a DSC2P or DSC2V called
micro-master (and written µ-master) with whom the PC communicates via the EBL2. The µ-master can also
have a sequence which send commands to other controllers. It always has the axis number 0. The other axes
are called slaves. All axes are linked together by the Turbo-ETEL-Bus also called TEB (ETEL proprietary
protocol). One of the roles of the master is to dispatch the orders he receives from the PC or (sent by itself) to
the slaves. Each axis has a personal number, and if several axes are chained, every number must be different
from the others (from 0 to 30). It is then possible to link up to 31 axes.
The functioning mode is chosen with the MDE command which is an alias of parameter K170 (only available
on the DSC2P and DSC2V)
