7.3.5) ROBUS in "Slave" mode
Properly programming and connecting, ROBUS can function in
"Slave" mode; this type of function is used when 2 opposite gates
need to be automated with the synchronised movement of the two
leaves. In this mode ROBUS works as Master commanding the
movement, while the second ROBUS acts as Slave, following the
commands transmitted by the Master (all ROBUS are Masters when
leaving the factory).
To configure ROBUS as a Slave the level one "Slave mode" must be
activated (see table 5).
The connection between ROBUS Master and ROBUS Slave is made
via BLUEBUS.
!
In this case the polarity of the connections between the
two ROBUS must be respected as illustrated in fig. 26 (the
other devices remain with no polarity).
Follow the operations below to install 2 ROBUS in the Master and
Slave mode:
• Install the 2 motors as indicated in fig. 25. It is not important which
motor is to function as Slave or Master; when choosing, one must
consider the convenience of the connections and the fact that the
Step-by-Step command of the Slave only allows the Slave leaf to
be opened fully.

When connecting 2 ROBUS in the Master-Slave mode, pay attention that:
• All devices must be connected to the ROBUS Master (as in fig. 26) including the radio receiver.
• When using buffer batteries, each motor must have its own battery.
• All programming performed on ROBUS Slave are ignored (those on ROBUS Master override the others) except for those mentioned in table 12.

• Connect the 2 motors as shown in fig. 26.
• Select the opening direction of the 2 motors as shown in fig. 25
(see also paragraph "4.1 Choosing the direction").
• Supply power to the 2 motors.
• Program the "Slave mode" on the ROBUS Slave (see table 5).
• Perform the device recognition on the ROBUS Slave (see para-
graph "4.3 Recognition of the devices").
• Perform the device recognition on the ROBUS Master (see para-
graph "4.3 Recognition of the devices").
• Perform the recognition of the leaf length on the ROBUS Master
(see paragraph "4.4 Recognition length of the leaf").
