Power Supplies
Depending on the installation requirements, up to four heads may be connected
to a single power supply (e.g. heads 1 through 4 above), or a separate power
supply per head may be used (e.g. heads 5 and 6 above). The selection of the
power supply will depend on the types of heads installed and the distances
between them. Power and data is routed from the power supply output connec-
tors to each head via individual cables.
Data Cables
Two options are available for connecting control data (RS-422) from the Multi-
controller II to the power supplies.
Separate data cables can be connected from the individual control output con-
nectors (one per head) on the Multicontroller II to each power supply (see cam-
eras 5 and 6 above). This method is best suited to installations where individual
power supplies are used.
Installations that have 2, 3 or 4 heads connected to a single power supply will
typically use the Control A and/or Control B control output connectors. Control
A provides control data for heads 1 through 4 on a single cable to the power sup-
ply (see heads 1-4 opposite) and Control B provides control data for heads 3
through 6. Note that data for heads 3 and 4 is present on both Control A and
Control B - the heads can be controlled via one connector or the other, but not
both.
