The control board accommodates the keypad and the joystick with integral button, as well as 
the turn wheel on the side. The movements performed on the joystick are transmitted to the 
module unit. The movement modes, directions and speeds, as well as movement sequences, 
are pre-set and triggered by way of the keypad, the turn wheel and the joystick.
Underside
The bay underneath the control board 
accommodates the connector sockets for 
the module unit and the mains power supply 
as well as the serial port and the connection 
for an optional foot switch. 
Note: Do not place the control board down 
resting on the joystick! When connecting 
cables (section 4.4), place the control board 
on its side on an even surface and secure it 
against toppling over!
