Configuration Example 3: Brick
– Geo MACRO Drive
This configuration example discusses the necessary
steps for setting up a MACRO ring with an 8-axis
Geo Brick LV as a master and up to 4 x dual axes
Geo MACRO drives as slaves.
For simplicity, we will cover guidelines for setting
up one Geo MACRO drive in detail. The others
can be configured similarly.
For non-MACRO experienced users, it may be
practical to configure one Geo MACRO drive at a
time (as shown below). That is by connecting it to
the Geo Brick LV via two fiber optic cables while
leaving the other drives outside of the ring.

The following table summarizes the basic clock (Geo Brick LV recommended) and MACRO settings for
the ring in the diagram above. MS commands are allowed once the clocks are synchronized and nodes are
enabled properly on the master and each of the slaves. The slaves’ settings can be implemented via
MACRO ASCII communication.
