RS232 network operation
Multiple Motion Controllers can be operated on a single RS232 host interface.
Connect the Tx cables and Rx cables to the controller in parallel.
When they are in network operation the drives may not send any asynchronous
messages, because these can interfere with communications with another drive.
Asynchronous responses can be deactivated in the object 0x2400.04.
