===DualDC mode===
 
===DualDC mode===
A special feature of VSD-E/XE is that it can control two independent brush DC servo motors on single drive. This mode is achieved by downloading a freely available DualDC firmware to the drive. DualDC mode has several restrictions compared to single axis mode due to hardware limitations.
