control head to the Marex ECS control unit.
1. Make sure that the power is switched off. Connect the
STATION bus cable coming from the Marex ECS Control Unit
to one of the STATION sockets ((6), fig. 9).
Via this cable
– digital data is transmitted by means of a CAN bus protocol
and
– the component is supplied with power.
If Marex ECS includes more than one control head, only the
first Control Head Type 500-ECS is connected directly to the
Marex ECS Control Unit.
2. Connect optional control heads to the second STATION
socket (6) of the preceding control head.
– Apply a terminating resistor on the second STATION
socket ((6), fig. 9)), if no other control head shall be
connected. On every control head both STATION sockets
must be always be occupied (see also fig. 10).
