Each drive should have an individual, successful startup as a stand-alone drive, tested to run (typicallyfrom the Control Panel) including an ID Run; the assumption here is that both drives start with aparameter set that has default values.2. Panel Bus ConfigurationUsing the master Control Panel, verify 49.01 (Panel port node ID number) is 1.Using the master Control Panel, select Menu>Settings>Edit Texts to 'label' the drive.Using the follower Control Panel, set 49.01 to 2; this gives it a unique address.Using the follower Control Panel, select Menu>Settings>Edit Texts to 'label' the drive.
