Connecting the MGCplus in a tabletop housing/rack frame
MGCplus A0534-30.0 HBM: public 33
If several MGCplus systems are to be synchronized with each other, each
system must be equipped with a CP52 communications processor. To syn
chronize MGCplus systems with CP52, you need a synchronization cable
with the HBM part number 1-KAB2125-2 (2 m in length).
Fig. 4.1 Example of synchronizing two MGCplus systems equipped with CP52.
The overall length of the synchronization chain (total length of cable be
tween the sync master and the last sync slave) must be less than 150 m. A
termination resistor should be used if the line length is >15 m. We recom
mend that you attach a termination resistor connector to the Sync Out
socket (X2) of the last sync slave. This connector is available from HBM on
request. The maximum number of MGCplus units that can be synchronized
is 32.
