The APM faceplate (front panel) has two 24-pin high-density connectors for servo connections.
The connector labeled A contains connections for Axis 1. Connector B, for a 1-axis APM, contains
general purpose connections. Connector B, for a 2-axis APM, has connections for Axis 2 as well
general purpose connections. To make wiring easier to the drive and machine, each high-density
connector is typically connected by a short cable to a terminal block.

APM Cables
These cables consists of a 24-pin I/O connector , a cable, and a 25-pin D-type terminal block
connector. (Cables are documented in Chapter 10.) Available cables are:
IC693CBL311 (10 feet/3 meters)
IC693CBL319 (3 feet/1 meter)
IC693CBL317 (10 feet/3 meters) with an 8” external shield pigtail
C693CBL320 (3 feet/1 meter) with an 8” external shield pigtail
For building custom-length cables, the 24-pin I/O cable connector is available in three different kits
(solder eyelet receptacle, crimp wire receptacle, and IDC (ribbon) receptacle). The terminal block
is Weidmuller RD25 910648 or equivalent (must be compatible with the I/O cable
IC693CBL311/319/317/320 - see Chapter 10 for details).
