Multi-Pump Configurations
Up to fifteen (15) XLP 6000 pumps can be connected together in a multi-pump
configuration (also called "daisy-chaining"). In this configuration each pump is
addressed separately from a single terminal via its unique address, which is set
using the address switch on the back panel of the pump.
Within a multi-pump configuration, the RS-485 communications bus is required,
although the first pump in the chain may receive either RS-232 or RS-485
communications. For CAN communications, neither RS-232 nor RS-485 is
required. For more information on setting addresses, see Chapter 2.

with state-of-the-art components. Nevertheless, risks to users, property and the
