FUTABA DOUBLE ALIMENTATION DLPH-1
SAFETY FIRST! With the Futaba Dual Link Power Hub DLPH-1, you quadruple the safety of your model by operating two S.BUS/S.BUS2 receivers and two batteries in parallel. If a problem occurs with the main receiver or one of the batteries, the DLPH-1 switches to the second receiver or battery in the blink of an eye. But the DLPH-1 can do so much more...

The Futaba Dual Link Power Hub DLPH-1 is designed for the high-current power supply of Futaba S.BUS receivers and normal servos as well as S.BUS/S.BUS2 servos. The servos are connected to the corresponding servo outputs on the DLPH-1. These supply the servos with power and a position and control signal. Only one connection cable between the DLPH-1 and the receiver is then required for powering the receiver itself and for signal transmission.

If several servos have to be operated at the same time with a lot of power and/or at high speed, this fundamentally poses a problem for the servo power supply, because power and speed always go hand in hand with high power requirements.
This required power cannot be sufficiently supplied to the battery via the individual plug-in connection directly on the receiver, resulting in a "bottleneck" for the required servo power.

If necessary, the voltage drops, the servos become weaker or slower or both. In the worst case, they even stop and the receiver fails.
Depending on the power requirement. By using the Futaba Dual Link Power Hub DLPH-1, the power flows directly from the DLPH-1 to the servos.

The Futaba Dual Link Power Hub DLPH-1 therefore solves the following problems:
• Servos with high power requirements are connected to the DLPH-1 and no longer to the receiver.
• The DLPH-1 has two XT60 high-current connections for two receiver batteries thanks to the integrated battery switch. Their voltage is then routed (via the integrated battery switch) directly and loss-free to the servo sockets of the DLPH-1.
• The position and setting signal of the servos is routed separately from the receiver to the individual connectors. For operation of the receiver, it is supplied from the DLPH-1 (S.BUS signal, all in parallel) via a single patch cable.
• The control and position signal is routed via the S.BUS to the plug-in connections of the DLPH-1.
• The operating current for the servos and the receiver is thus "divided".
Why high current for the servos, what happens in case of undersupply?
• For the large, dynamic and very brief fluctuations in power requirements (current peaks) of today's servos, an unhindered power supply to the servos is essential. Therefore, not only high-current batteries must be used in the function chain, but also connectors and cables that can supply the high current to the servo sockets.
• Conventional voltage controls work rather insufficiently, because they are always "slower" than the rapidly (very dynamically) fluctuating power demand of the servos, and also slower than a high-current battery, which can certainly supply these current peaks.
• However, modern servos need precisely these current peaks to be able to deliver their actual performance. Therefore, there is nothing better for the power supply of such servos than to conduct the battery voltage to the servos in the most direct way, without any voltage regulation or other resistances such as unsuitable connectors or long or thin cables.
• Adapting to different servo voltages is best achieved by using appropriate battery types. LiFe batteries for all servos, or LiPo batteries for LiPo(HV) servos. This makes voltage regulation unnecessary.
