You may have a configuration requirement different from the factory configuration. If this is the case, you need
to change it using the Motion System Configurator
1
to modify the configuration BEFORE you install your Motion
System. The D-BOX Motion System Configurator application attributes a specific ACM port to each actuator
position.
A good practice is to replace the sticker on your ACM to reflect the new configuration.

For example: For a typical roll, pitch, heave configuration with 4 vertical actuators, actuators at positions 1 and 2
connect to the Master ACM and actuators at positions 3 and 4 connect to the Slave ACM. For additional details
on the ACM configuration, please read the Motion System Configurator Guide.

OMMUNICATION MODULE
-
KCU-1P
The KCU-1P is a communication module that transmits the data from the Motion Source to the first ACM in the
chain.
CAUTION: avoid connecting the KCU-1P into the USB port of a Windows PC before the Motion
Core application has been installed. Although the application installs itself as soon as the KCU-
1P is connected to the computer, it requires driver files to complete the installation process.
