Multiple DC drives from one analog signal

Can I control the spped of multiple GSD4 DC drives from a single 0-10vdc input from a PLC?

Do the potentiometer signal need to be isolated?

    Yes, it is possible to control multiple DC drives from a single analog signal. This can be done by using a signal splitter to split the analog signal into multiple identical signals that can be sent to each DC drive. 

     

    Make sure that the signal splitter used has sufficient output power to drive all the DC drives in the system, and that the wiring and connections are properly grounded and shielded to prevent interference and noise from affecting the analog signal.
