NOTE: This is not a closed loop system. The encoder does not feedback to the
controller. A separate PLC or controller must be used to communicate between this
controller and this encoder.

A DB-9 female connector cable receives power and provides the control connections
for the Silverpak17C. The DB-9 cable has a 3 pin connector provided for the
converter card in order for the controller to communicate with the PC via a USB-485
converter card or RS232-485 converter card. Other wires allow the user to solder
and program the switch push button and the Opto Sensor, enabling several options.
The I/O’s will allow for options such as solenoids, relays, opto isolators, LED’s and
many other input and output connections. See
Table3
below for details.
