LC5 Multiple Address Error on 2xMD5+MC43
Hi,
We have in a electric cabinet one MC43[0] with a MD5[2], then we have a wired console 30m away with other MD5[1] together with 2 LC5 joysticks.

The problem is on MD5[1], we make 3 diferrent connection to check:
1) We first connected the LC5[0]+LC5[1] on its CAN B port as usual in previus system with MD4 we made. But Randomly we gets:

So we double check all the harware and wiring with no problem found. At this point was coneected 0T and 1T on each LC5
2) Then we connect one LC5[0] on the CAN B port, and the other in the LC5[1] CAN C port. Then we gets:

So the problem now is just on LC5[1], but with Multiple Addres Error even being alone in the CAN C port. At this point we added a 120ohm resistor on the MD5[1] to match LC5 termination resistors.
3) Then our last seting was LC5[0] on the CAN B port, and change the address to the other LC5[0] on CAN C port, so we gets:

But in each port, there is only one LC5, so is not posible to have a Multiple Address Error.
The only way to make this work again is reset the whole system. This problem is happen in 4 diferent machines, all with MD5. Other machines with MD4 don´t have any problem.
