We want to cascade 4 NetBotz Sensor Pods 150 to a NetBotz Rack Monitor 250, but it is preferable in terms of A-Link cable routing to have the NetBotz Rack Monitor 250 inbetween the Sensor Pods within the system architecture, as shown in the attached sketch. Is this possible or does the NetBotz Rack Monitor 250 have to be on one end of the A-Link bus?

Hi @Anonymous user ,
You have 2 A-link ports on the NetBotz 250 so you can use it either way, you can have the 250 at one end and link the 4 150 pods together or you can have 2 pods on one A-link port and 2 on the other port. It's up to you.
If you are using 4 in one port, I would also consider using an external power supply (ap9505I) for supplemental power. I don't believe this would be necessary if you have 2 in one port and 2 in another.
Thanks,
Steve
