Daisy-Chaining Additional Units

Daisy-chaining refers to the connection of several devices in a linear series. Many of Zaber's devices can share both data and power through a daisy-chain, which is the most efficient way to reduce cabling. For more details on daisy-chaining, read our technical article, "Daisy-chaining Data and Power to Reduce Cabling".

Our programmable joystick, which can control up to three axes simultaneously, is equally easy to install and set-up with a series of daisy-chained devices.

For detailed instructions on setting up a specific product, browse or search to find the product of interest and check the "Support & Drawings" tab for the product manual, our Getting Started Guide, and other useful information.
