3. CSEL setting

Figure 4 CSEL setting
The CSEL (Cable select) setting is not depended on setting between pins Band D.
By connecting the CSEL of the master drive to the CSEL Line (conductor) of the cable and connecting it to ground further, the CSEL is set to low level. The drive is identified as a master drive. At this time, the CSEL of the slave drive does not have a conductor. Thus, since the slave drive is not connected to the CSEL conductor, the CSEL is set to high level. The drive is identified as a slave drive.
