About this manual

The YC-Link system allows an RCX series multi-axis robot controller to control SR1 series single-axis robot controllers via serial communication. This setup enables users to add additional axes to the RCX controller without needing different controllers for each axis. The system supports up to 6 axes per robot and up to 8 axes for the overall controller system using a multi-drop configuration.
