Connecting an analog joystick
➢
Connect the joystick to the
Joystick
socket of the C-863.12:
−
If you want to operate a C-819.20 joystick with this controller only, connect it
directly to the controller.
−
If you want to operate a C-819.20 joystick with two controllers (i.e., two axes),
connect the joystick to the C-819.20Y Y cable and connect both controllers to the X
and Y branches of the cable. The power is supplied to the joystick via the X branch.
For this reason, the X branch has to be connected to a controller even if joystick
control is not to be activated for this controller.
−
If you want to connect an axis of a C-819.30 joystick, connect the corresponding
cable of the joystick to the controller.
