Signal Connections
This chapter describes how to send input and output signal connections
directly to the controller and briefly describes the associated I/O circuitry.
The PCI-7342 controller has three connectors that handle all signals to and
from the external motion system:
•
68-pin motion I/O connector
•
68-pin digital I/O connector
•
RTSI connector
You can connect to your motion system with cables and accessories,
varying from simple screw terminal blocks to enhanced UMI units and
drives.
Caution
Power off all devices when connecting or disconnecting the motion I/O and
auxiliary digital I/O cables. Failure to do so may damage the controller.
Figure 5-1 shows the connectors on the PCI-7342 controller. Refer to
Figure 3-1,
PCI-7342 Parts Locator Diagram
, to locate the RTSI
connector.
