Using the I/O Panelettes
Select configurable I/O panelettes appropriate for the I/O connectivity
needs of your application. The I/O panelettes have standard prewired I/O
connectors. You can install I/O panelettes on the front of the SC-2311
enclosure.
You can install up to 18 single-width I/O panelettes in the SC-2311
enclosure. You can mix all types of I/O panelettes to produce custom I/O
combinations.
Note
The strain-relief and 9-pin D-subminiature I/O panelettes require two panelette
spaces. The dual 9-pin D-sub I/O panelette requires three panelette spaces.
Each thermocouple and BNC I/O panelette accommodates two connectors.
Use the strain-relief I/O panelettes to connect large numbers of wires
directly to your internal accessory. You can machine the blank
I/O panelettes to make custom I/O panelettes to suit your application.
Use the preconfigured I/O panelettes to quickly connect and disconnect
standard connectors.
Note
For RF emission compliance, you cannot use BNC panelettes.
