By default, Kaleido-RCP will send instructions using RS-422 protocol to ID 1. This means that a system comprised of only one Kaleido-Alto frame will work out of the box as each frame’s default ID is also set to 1. However, for applications where more than one Kaleido-Alto/Quad frame is used, you will need to assign a unique ID number to each of them. - Page 17 Foil Foil GND shield GND shield GND shield GND shield Pair 6 Pair 4 Pair 8 Pair 2 External DC power supply +12V or AC/DC adaptor Figure 2.5.2 Kaleido Alto/Kaleido-RCP interconnection for cascading multiple frames Kaleido-Alto & Kaleido-Quad | 13...
