8.7.2.2 Configuring a Base Module as a Slave
The TL891/TL892 base modules are shipped configured as standalone
systems. When theyare used in conjunction with the TL890 DLT
MiniLibrary expansion unit, the expansion unit must control the robotics of
each of the base modules. Therefore, the base modulesmust be configured
as a slave to the expansion unit.
After the hardware and cables are installed, but before you power up
the expansion unit in a MiniLibrary system for the first time, you must
reconfigure eachof the base modules in the system as a slave. The expansion
