Futaba R6108SB User Manual

Usage condition on "High Speed mode"

󾻯

CAUTION

󾻫

When using the high-speed mode, use a Futaba

digital servo (including brushless servo) or S.BUS
ser vo at conventional system use channels 1 to 6.
Analog servos cannot be used.

• The use of analog servos may cause servo trouble.

• When using analog servos, select the normal mode, and

use channel outputs 7 and 8.

• Battery terminal (B)

S.BUS

Port (

S.BUS

)

What is S.BUS?

Different from conventional radio control systems the

S.BUS

system uses data communication to transmit control signals
from a receiver to a servo, gyro, or other

S.BUS

compatible
device. This data includes commands such as “move the
channel 3 servo to 15 degrees, move the channel 5 servo to

30 degrees” to multiple devices. The

S.BUS

devices execute
only those commands for their own set channel. For this
reason, it can be used by connecting multiple servos to the
same signal line.

S.BUS Servo Channel Setting Method

S.BUS

servo channel setting can be performed at the

R6108SB

receiver.

1

Connect the accessory short-plug to the

DATA

port of

the receiver.

Short-plug
(accessory)

* Connect the short-plug to the DATA port only when an S.BUS servo

channel is set. Normally do not connect the plug.

2

Connect an

S.BUS

servo to the conventional system
output connector(1 to 8) corresponding to the channel
you want to set.
