HyperWire Interface
The HyperWire bus is the high-speed communications connection from the controller. It operates at 2 gigabits per second. The controller sends all command and configuration information through the HyperWire bus. This device consumes two or four of the available axes of control on the HyperWire communication network. Refer to your Automation1-iSMC license for the number of available HyperWire axes.
HyperWire cables can be safely connected to or disconnected from a HyperWire port while the PC and/or drive is powered on. However, any changes to the HyperWire network topology will disrupt communication and you must reset the controller to re-establish communication.
WARNING: Do not connect or disconnect HyperWire cables while you are loading firmware or damage to the drives may occur.
