Optional: Operating the Hexapod with a Separate 12 V Power

The hexapod can be supplied via a separate 12 V power adapter in static applications that
require increased position stability.
INFORMATION
If your controller has an
E-Stop
socket (C-887.522, .523, .532 and .533 models):
Deactivating the 24 V output on the controller via the
E-Stop
socket remains ineffective when
the hexapod is supplied via a separate power adapter.
If you want to actively use the
E-Stop
socket, connect the hexapod's power adapter
accordingly. For further information, see "Using the E-Stop Socket" in the user manual for
the C-887.5xx controller (MS244).
