3.11 Other applications
3.11.1 Parallel operation in master-slave (MS)
Multiple devices of same kind can be connected in parallel in order to create a system with higher total current and hence
higher power. For parallel operation in master-slave mode the units are usually connected with their DC inputs, their Share
bus and their master-slave bus, which is a digital bus that makes the system work as one big unit regarding adjusted values,
actual values and status.
The Share bus is intended to balance the units dynamically in their voltage on the DC input, i.e. in CV mode, especially if the
master unit runs a dynamic function. In order for this bus to work correctly, at least the DC minus poles of all units have to be
connected, because DC minus is the reference for the Share bus.

3.11.1.1 Restrictions
Compared to normal operation of a single device, master-slave operation has some restrictions:
• The MS system reacts partly different in alarm situations (see below in
3.11.1.8
)
• Using the Share bus makes the system react as dynamic as possible, but it’s still not as dynamic as single unit operation
• Connection to identical models from other series is not supported, the master would not initialize them
3.11.1.2 Wiring the DC inputs
The DC input of every unit in the parallel operation is connected with correct polarity to the next unit, using cables or copper
bars with a cross section according to the total system current and with short as possible length, so their inductance is as
low as possible.
3.11.1.3 Wiring the Share bus
The Share bus is wired from unit to unit with standard BNC cables (coaxial, 50 Ω type) with a length of 0.5 m (1.64 ft) or similar.
Both sockets are internally connected and are not specically input or output. The labeling is only for orientation.
•
A max. of 64 units can be connected via Share bus.
•
When connecting the Share bus before a device had been congured as Master or Slave, an SF alarm
will occur
