Panel bus (Control of several units from one control panel)
One control panel (or PC) can be used to control several drives by constructing a panel
bus. This is done by daisy-chaining the panel connections of the drives. Some drives have
the necessary panel connectors in the control panel holder. Others, including the
ACS880-07CLC, require the installation of an FDPI-02 module (available separately). For
