Frequently Asked Questions - Multilink DJI

How to install the Multilink module on a remote controller?

Attach the module to the back of the remote controller using the mounting arm and tighten the locking button. Then connect the CAN cable to the CAN port of the remote controller.

What roles can be assigned to secondary remote controllers?

Three roles are available: Gimbal Operator (slave 1), Assistant A (slave 2), and Assistant B (slave 3). Each role has specific control capabilities.

How to configure the module in master or slave mode?

Use the DJI GO 4 app on the remote controller. Go to the remote controller settings and select the desired role. For slave, a password is required.

What does the solid violet indicator mean?

The solid violet indicator means the Multilink module is disconnected and configured as a secondary remote controller (slave). It turns solid green once connected to the network.

Can I use a patch antenna with the Multilink?

Yes, the CAN cable can be connected to a patch antenna module to improve range. Make sure the patch antenna is properly connected.

How many secondary remote controllers can be connected?

Up to three secondary remote controllers can be connected in a star network with the main controller.

Is the Multilink compatible with other DJI devices?

Yes, the CAN port allows connecting compatible DJI devices such as the DJI Focus or the Inspire 2 GPS module.

How to update the firmware of the Multilink?

Connect the Multilink to the remote controller, then use the DJI GO 4 app to manage firmware updates.

What is the latency between controllers?

The minimum latency is 2.5 ms (5.8 GHz) between master and slave 1, and can reach 11.1 ms (2.4 GHz) for slave 3.

What to do if the indicator remains off?

An off indicator may indicate an incompatible firmware version, an uninitialized remote controller, or a hardware failure. Check updates and connections.

Product Profile

Introduction

Multilink is designed specifically for use with the INSPIRE ^TM 2 remote controller and CENDENCE ^TM remote controller. It can create a master-slave controller network with up to three slave remote controllers. The multiple slave controllers form a star network with the master controller as the hub, sending commands to the aircraft via the master controller. Slave controllers receive the image and video signal from the aircraft directly.

Features

• Master-slave network
Can create a master-slave network with up to three slave remote controllers.

Each controller is responsible for the following:

Master-Pilot, Slave 1-Gimbal Operator, Slave 2-Assistant A, Slave 3-Assistant B

- Gimbal control

The Master remote controller and Slave controller 1 can both control the gimbal, but not simultaneously. Slave 2 and Slave 3 cannot control the gimbal.

- Camera control

Camera control is shared between all of the remote controllers.

• Support for Inspire 2 and Cendence remote controllers

Both the Inspire 2 and Cendence remote controllers can be used as a master or slave.

Usage

Installation and Connection

Multilink can be installed onto both the Inspire 2 Remote Controller and Cendence Remote Controller using different holes on the mounting arm. Their installation steps are otherwise similar. The steps provided below use the Cendence as an example.

1. Mount the Multilink module onto the back of the remote controller and tighten the locking knob to secure it.
2. Connect the CAN cable to the remote controller's CAN port.

    B --> C["Assembly of the engine into a motor part"]

The CAN cable can be also be connected to the Patch Antenna module if a Patch Antenna is used. Make sure the Patch Antenna is connected correctly.

Assigning Roles

The following steps explain how to set the Multilink as master or slave remote controller. There are three roles that you can assign for the slave remote controller: Gimbal Operator, Assistant A, and Assistant B.

Master remote controller

1. Turn on the remote controller. Make sure the Multilink is connected correctly.
2. Set the Multilink as master remote controller using the Remote Controller Setting page in DJI GO ^TM 4 app.
3. Set an access password.

Slave remote controller

1. Turn on the remote controller. Make sure the Multilink is connected correctly.
2. Set the Multilink as slave remote controller using the Remote Controller Setting page in DJI GO 4 app. Determine which role you would like to assign to the slave, and then select the desired role in DJI GO 4 app. At this time, the Status Indicator of the Multilink will light up steady purple.
3. Enter the access password.
4. The Status Indicator will turn steady green after the role is successfully assigned. The remote controller icon shown in app will turn to 📄.
5. If you'd like to switch a slave to a different role, go to the Remote Controller Setting page in DJI GO 4 app to do so.

Usage Details

1. The Master can control the aircraft, gimbal, camera and vision systems.
2. Slave 1 can control the gimbal and camera.
3. Slave 2 and 3 can only control the camera (can be disabled in Remote Controller Setting page).

• Firmware upgrades can be handled in DJI GO 4 app by connecting the Multilink to the remote controller.
• The CAN port on the Multilink can be connected to other DJI devices with a CAN port.
• For best results, use the Multilink together with a Patch Antenna.
• The Multilink will make a beeping sound every time it is connected or disconnected.
