2.9 Synchronizing multiple boards
2.9.1 Internal synchronization
For multiple device operation the DEWE-ORION-1616-10x is equipped with an additional synchronization
connector. A standard 10-pin connector with 1.27 mm flat ribbon cable is available for easy connection be

2.9.2 Synchronizing multiple systems
If multiple systems or PCI expansion systems are used, a synch-bus amplifier (ORION-1616-SYNCH) have
to be used. This amplifier decouples the internal synch-bus with the external synchronization input and out
-
put connector. By changing the internal TTL synch bus levels from TTL to RS-422 level the distance between
two systems can be increased by up to 50 metres by using standard CAT5 Ethernet cables.
Please contact DEWETRON if longer synchronization distance is required!
The ORION-1616-SYNCH also includes the security circuit if two master systems have to be connected
together over the synch bus connection. As soon as the system is configured to a master system the external
synch is ignored by disabling the SYNCH-IN amplifier. The LED MI (master internal) indicates if the system
is configured to a master system. ME (master external) is on, if at the SYNCH-IN connector a valid SYNCH
signal is connected.
