RICO-V4
CONNECTIONS / USE
BASIC
Just connect the RICO-V4 to the chain hoist motors and control these using the controls as explained in the
previous chapter. An optional [RICO-REMOTE] can be connected for remote operation.
MASTER / SLAVE
Connect several RICO-V4 to the chain hoist motors and daisy chain the [LINK IN/OUT] as shown on the
drawing. Use the controls on the master as explained in the previous chapter.
Remark: the [EMERGENCY STOP] can be used on all units, also on the slaves.
MASTER / SLAVE WITH 1 [RICO-REMOTE]
Connect several RICO-V4 to the chain hoist motors and daisy chain the [LINK IN/OUT] as shown on the
drawing. Connect the optional [RICO-REMOTE] to the remote input of the master. Use the controls on the
[RICO-REMOTE].
Remark: the [EMERGENCY STOP] can be used on all units, also on the slaves and remote.
MASTER / SLAVE WITH SEVERAL [RICO-REMOTE] CONTROLLERS
Master/slave connection is identical to the normal master/slave setup. But in this setup the master/slave
operation can be split up in several independent sections. Each section can be controlled by a different
[RICO-REMOTE] controller, like in the example drawing:
•
Four or more RICO-V4 controllers are connected in
master/slave.
•
Two [RICO-REMOTE] controllers are connected:
•
[REMOTE1] to the unit 1.
•
[REMOTE2] to the unit 3.
•
Automatically the chain will be split up in independent 2
sections:
•
Section 1:
[MASTER1] (unit 1) controls [SLAVE A]
•
Section 2:
[MASTER2] (unit 3) controls [SLAVE B],
[SLAVE C] and eventual further slaves…
IMPORTANT REMARK: the [EMERGENCY STOP] can be
used on ALL units, also on the slaves and remotes, and will
interrupt the outputs of ALL controllers in ALL sections!
