Thanks drawson, that was why I asked if anyone had experience using one drive with multiple motors.
But I still need to individually start/stop the motors, so that as one line fills up, I can stop the upstream conveyor.
I know it's not recommended to disconnect the motor from the drive (at least in a one-to-one application, but if, for example, I always left (at least) one motor connected, then when I want to shut down that last conveyor, I just stop the drive .
I'll ask AB, et.al., about it, this week.
