Both the output and input circuitry are differential and operate between 0 and 5V.
Multidrop systems allow one device to act as a ‘network master’, controlling and interacting with the other (slave) devices on the network. The network master can be a controller such as a NextMove BXII, a host application such as WorkBench v5 (or other custom application), or a programmable logic controller (PLC).
The NextMove BXII supports up to 15 devices, each having its own address (node) number to uniquely identify it on the network. The address of the NextMove BXII can be configured using the Mint keyword NODE. It is stored in EEPROM and restored at power up.
