Redundant power/ground in Skyview network

[elorozco1]

Hi!

I would have thought this has been asked before, but I couldn't find an exact answer...

I am making a Skyview network harness that goes from the SV-MAG-236 to one of the autopilot servos, to a network hub.  The Skyview network cable definition includes two sets of power/ground wires, and I'd like to know if I can leave one of these two pairs disconnected.  My proposed wiring is something like the table below:


SV-MAG-236            Servo                  HUB          Other
Data 1A  -------- Data 1A   -------   Data 1A
Data 1B  -------- Data 1B   -------   Data 1B
Data 2A  -------- Data 2A   -------   Data 2A
Data 2B  -------- Data 2A   -------   Data 2B
Power 1  ---------------------------- Power 1
Ground 1 ---------------------------- Ground 1
Power 2  (none)
Ground 2 (none)
EMS Aux Volt (none)
                  Servo Power ---------------> Switch
                  Servo Ground --------------> Bus
                  AP Disc        ------------> Stick



Thanks!

The second set of power wires are there for redundancy, and the system knows if they are hooked up and checks for them. If you don't hook them up, you'll get a warning on SkyView every time you power it on.

You don't have to run the EMS aux volt however.
