When these servos are used, the channel assignment is programmed directly at the servo.

The adapter includes integral signal amplifiers for all servo outputs as well as the adapter’s PowerBus™ output. This means that as many bus adapters as required can be connected in series, i.e. cascaded. The PowerBus is the basis of a completely new method of wiring servos. The PowerBus consists of a three-core cable which supplies current and signal to the servos connected to it. At first glance this is nothing unusual, but the big difference lies in the signal wire. When conventional servo signals are transferred, the signal wire always carries the info
