Master follower
5.8.1
Master follower mode 1 & 2
A system that has two back-to-back AFE units can be controlled by using system bus
communication. This will reduce the need for I/O control, because you have to, for example, give a
start command only on the drive. In addition to this, when there is a fault, the drives can operate
logically because both drives know the status of the other drive.
5.8.2
Master follower mode 3 & 4
To become available, these modes require licences. Recommendations for these modes are given by
the manufacturer, if necessary.
NOTE! The NXP control board must be VB00761 (NXP3) or newer. OPT-D2 boards must be VB276J or
newer. Master needs to be #1 and cannot be changed.
The OPTD2 board in the Master has default jumper selections, that is, X6:1-2, X5:1-2. For the
followers, the jumper positions have to be changed: X6:1-2, X5:2-3. This board also has a CAN
communication option that is useful for multiple-drive monitoring with the NCDrive PC software
when you are commissioning Master Follower functions or line systems.
