I currently have x2 powerbars, a doser 2 ( not connected yet).

I just received my vortec controller, now, can the second PAB port on the vortec controller be the "last" free port in the daisy chain?

I think I may need an expansion or another powerbar, (which I do need anyway), but until then?

My P4 has two PAB ports on the back. One I used to daisy chain the two power bars and the second port to daisy chain the modules. You will always have a free PAB port on the last module or power bar.

There is no need to "terminate" the PAB bus, any device can the the last open port. We do ask that you plug the Power bars directly into the ProfiLux controller, then your accessories :)
