External EMERGENCY STOP button that can interrupt the interlock circuit.
Dummy plug “X101; CAN TERM; Interlock CTR 4“
Is connected to interface X101 on the rear side so that the interlock circuit is
not interrupted. (If there is no circuit -1-).
Dummy plug: “X101 CAN TERM”
Is connected to interface X102 on the rear side of the last device in the
multi-unit system (if there is no circuit).
Dummy plug “X105; Interlock CTR 4”
Is connected to interface X105 on the rear side so that the interlock circuit is
not interrupted.
CAN cable connects interface X102 on the first device to the interface
X101 on the following device.

4.4.3.3. Multi-unit system with TopCon power supplies
Master-slave principle on power supplies in the multi-unit system
The set values are provided to the master device, e.g. via HMI or the
PC using the TopControl application.
The master device passes on the parameters to its slaves via the internal
system communication. The individual slave devices in the multi-unit
system convert the set values specified into the related output values.
Limits of a multi-unit system
Only one master is allowed per multi-unit system.
Per multi-unit system at full bandwidth maximum number of devices:
7
(From 8 devices, the bandwidth can be reduced)
Devices such as HMI or RCU also count in a multi-unit system.
A device address is only allowed to occur once in the multi-unit
system.
Several multi-unit systems can be connected via a Multi-Rack
Controller (MRC) to form a large multi-unit system.
