Wiring
The Local Bus uses a 34-conductor, flat-ribbon cable. There are 12 active lines and 17 ground lines, with the address/
data bus sharing the same line.
ARCNET
Overview
The G4LC32 has an ARCNET connection that can be used as a host port to a computer. You can use an IBM PC to
develop your application with Cyrano 200 or OptoControl, and then download and debug it on any of the G4LC32’s
that are connected to the ARCNET bus.
For very large, distributed-control applications, you can use up to 254 G4LC32 controller(s) networked together via
the ARCNET port.
