Hi, According the ctrlX DRIVE project planning manual, chapter 4.3.17 DC bus coupling,  we can use the XAS4 DC bus adapter to connect Drives in a multiple line arrangement. The connection is done with twisted cables and the XAS4 adapter.  So far so good, but in the note is mentioned: - Always install DC bus capacitor units XLC at each displaced drive package - Install the DC bus capacitor units XLC at the point of DC bus infeed of the displaced drive package. So my questions are: Does this mean that if I want to arrange my drives in a multiple line arrangement, using the XAS4 adapter, I always need to install a DC bus capacitor? If yes, why do we need the DC bus capacitor? Thanks,     ... View more

In the past you could use a task viewer to check the task times.     ... View more
