2.5.3 J3 Signal Interface Connection
Introduction
The J3 signal interface accepts input signals from the indexer
or other step source for step, direction, enable and reset. The
interface sends an output signal for faults.
Mating
connector
The J3 serial port mating connector, supplied with the unit, is
an ITT Cannon DB-25P 25-pin plug-in female D connector.
Cable
requirements
Use 22-gauge wire for the cabling. Obtain cable with each
I/O pair (refer to the diagram) twisted at about 3 to 4 turns
per inch (1 to 1.5 turns per centimeter). As an option, the
cable may be shielded to reduce noise pickup.
CAUTION
To avoid ground loops, connect ground shield to indexer ground
only.
Procedure
1. Solder the leads to the connector as shown.
2. Assemble the connector housing.
3. Plug the connector into the input and affix the connector
to the unit with screws.
4. For non-Pacific Scientific indexers, adapt the indexer
circuitry as shown in the table.
