Emergency EMG 5 This is the power supply module alarm output signal.
Ground GND 6 This is the signal ground.
There is one inter-module communication connector for the power supply module (X1) and two for each
driver module (X1A, X1B), connect the communication cable as shown below.
For details, refer to "REFERENCE SPECIFICATIONS Power supply module section (SX-DSV03452)"
and "REFERENCE SPECIFICATIONS Driver module section (SX-DSV03454)".
Use the DIP switch on the front panel of each driver module to set the inter-module communication
node address (ID) with a different number between 1 and 20 for the driver modules connected to the
same power supply module. For details, refer to "3.2 Node address setup in Inter-module communication"
in this document.
Set the inter-module communication node address (ID) to 1 for one of the driver modules connected to
the same power supply module. Otherwise, the power supply module will detect PSM Err.26 “PSM
module communication ID error protection”.
The following functions are added to the driver module whose inter-module communication node
address (ID) is 1.

PSM parameter setting, monitoring, confirmation of alarm information
Using the setup support software PANATERM for Multi that runs on a Windows® PC, it is possible to check
the parameters, monitor, and alarm information of the power supply module via USB communication of the
driver module via inter-module communication.

If there is an abnormality in the inter-module communication due to disconnection of the inter-module
communication cable, it is not possible to communicate with PANATERM for Multi. Turn it off and re-turn it
on.
For details, refer to the operation manual of the setup support software PANATERM for Multi.
