4.4 Connecting CANHEAD modules
To connect CANHEAD modules to the MGCplus system you need the
ML74B communication card and the AP74 connection board.
In combina
tion with the NT030 power pack, you can connect a maximum of 12 modu
les per board and a maximum of 25 modules per MGCplus device (a maxi
mum of 256 channels per CP42 and 512 channels per CP52 in total). The
combination of NT040 with CP52 enables up to 50 modules per MGCplus
device to be connected.
For further information regarding connection and
operation see the "CANHEAD measurement electronics" assembly instruc
tions.
