5.3. Communications
The X-MCB1 supports multiple communications interfaces and processes commands through the
currently active interface, which is determined by the interface priorities. Enabling or connecting a
higher priority interface will cause any commands received over the lower priority interface(s) to
be ignored.
Interface Priority
1. USB
2. RS232
Daisy Chaining
Daisy Chaining is supported from USB to RS232 Next and RS232 Prev to RS232 Next. In order to
chain from USB to RS232 the comm.usb.protocol setting must be the same as the
comm.rs232.protocol setting.
