It is also available to use Gateway Unit by connecting RCP6S actuator directly.
In the figure below shows that case. The axis address of RCP6S connected directly without using a
hub unit should be No. 4, and No. 5, 6 and 7 will become unavailable.
Also, it is available that RCP6S Gateway controller is connected instead of connecting a
RCP6S actuator and connect an actuator of RCP2 ~ 6, RCA2 or RCD (partly not applicable).
Some actuators require a connector conversion unit.
Note When an actuator is to connected to the controller for RCP6S Gateway, make sure to connect an
actuator of the model code stated on the controller front panel. Operation will not be performed
correctly if an actuator not indicated is connected.
Without using a hub unit,
it is available to connect
actuators directly. In that
case, the number of
axes available to
connect will reduce.
In the case above, No.
5, 6 and 7 will become
unavailable.
Using a hub unit, four
actuators can be
connected.
