3.11 Master/Slave Receiver Linking
The SBUS connector on the receiver can be used to link up to eight receivers outputting to one
automation computer and/or printer, depending on the Master/Slave configuration. The
Master/Slave configuration consists of one receiver being programmed as a Master and the
remaining receivers programmed as Slave receivers. The linking feature can decrease the
number of serial ports required on the automation computer and/or the quantity of printers
used for event logging.
There are two types of Master/Slave linking that can be used, the Master/Slave Printer
configuration, and the Master/Slave Automation configuration. If a receiver is programmed as
a Master Printer, then the slave receivers must be programmed as Slave Printer. And if a
master receiver is programmed as Master Automation, the slave receivers must be
programmed as Slave Automation receivers. See Section 5.4.4.2 for information on
programming receivers for Master/Slave mode of operation.
The receivers are linked using a standard 4-wire RJ-11 phone cable.
3.11.1 Receiver Linking Cable
Use a 4-wire RJ-11 phone cable as shown in Figure 3-16 to connect the receivers together for
receiver linking.
