Cascading Multiple Digi RPM Units

The Digi RPM power controllers can be cascaded when used with the Digi CM.

The DIP switches on the front panel of the Digi RPM allow configuring unique identities (ID) to the Digi RPMs so they can be identified. In a cascaded environment each unit has to be configured to a unique ID.

To cascade the Digi RPM connect a serial port of the Digi CM to the Console Port of the first Digi RPM using a straight-thru cable. Connect the “Cascade” Port of the first Digi RPM to the “Console” Port of the second.

Following an example of two cascaded Digi RPMs connected to a Digi CM.

Please note that the ID for the first unit is set to 0 and for the second unit it is set to 1.
