Using MOVIKIT® StackerCrane MultiAxisController in a cascade

The MOVIKIT® StackerCrane MultiAxisController supports a maximum of 2 axis group members. If more axis group members are to be used for one direction of travel (travel/lifting axis), another MOVIKIT® StackerCrane MultiAxisController can be added to the project below a MOVIKIT® StackerCrane MultiAxisController (cascade setup). This makes it possible to connect 4 axis group members. For each MOVIKIT® StackerCrane MultiAxisController that is arranged in a cascade, a MOVIKIT® MultiAxisController addon Cascading license is required.
