Cable 300-0358
Connect Cognex cable 300-0358 to the MVS-8100D’s parallel I/O port. This cable has
an HD-15F connector on one end and a block of 16 screw terminals on the other.
Figure 15 shows the cable.

The screw terminal connector shell is Phoenix part number 18 34 48 2. The matching
female plug with the screw terminals is Phoenix 18 58 17 0. The male connector shell is
a 16-terminal connector, but the last two positions are blocked with key plugs. The
female plug has the last two terminal positions removed so that it will fit with the key
plugs in place. The key plugs are primarily to prevent the connection of a female terminal
plug from any other Cognex vision product.
Caution
The 16-pin terminal block at the end of cable 300-0358 resembles
the terminal blocks at the end of other Cognex parallel I/O cables for
other products. However, the signal name and pin numbering on
cable 300-0358 is unique to the MVS-8100D series. Do not connect
a terminal block that works on another Cognex product into the
terminal end of cable 300-0358, or electrical damage may result.
Table 6 on page 18 shows the pinout of the screw terminal connector on cable
300-0358. Connect wires from your TTL devices to these terminals.
