• Set up the module ID of MINAS-A5 to RSW of the front panel. In the above case,
you can set any value of 0 to 127. You can set the same module ID as long as the
host has no difficulty in control.
• RS232 and RS485 communication
When you connect one host to multiple MINAS-A5s, connect the host to connec-
tor X2 of one driver with RS232 communication, and connect each MINAS-A5 with
RS485 communication. Set up the Pr5.31 of the driver to 0 which is connected to the
host, and set up 1 to 127 to other drivers each.
