2.Communications Traffic Distributed over All Drive Loops: Select all drive loops and configure them as "Drive + RCCOM (Drive Loops plus Redundant Controller Communications)." The communications traffic between the two controllers will be automatically distributed over all drive loops.

!As displayed above, channel(s) selected as the communications paths will be displayed as "channel number (C: connected)" or "channel number (D: disconnected)." If channels configured in a dual-loop are selected, channel status will be displayed as "channel number (pair loop; C or D)."

!If any of the communications loops should fail, the inter- controller traffic will be automatically shifted to the remaining Drive/RCC loop(s).
