The major components required for PC to N-Series ION CAN/SPI DK communications are listed below:
For detailed wiring information on the PMD-manufactured accessories listed above, refer to Section 3.3, “Selected
Cable & Accessory Specifications.”
2.4.2 Setting Up Pro-Motion For SPI
Communications
Once the hardware is in place setting up a Pro-Motion to SPI connection is actually easier than for the other ION host
connections types (Serial, CAN, Ethernet) because there are no communication parameters to set in the N-Series ION
unit.
Therefore it is not necessary to initially connect via the 3-pin programming cable, and correspondingly it is not
necessary to disable this connection after SPI communications have been established. So the entirety of the setup
sequence consists of specifying to Pro-Motion that it should communicate by SPI.

The special hardware items listed above, which are required for SPI communications between Pro-Motion and the
CAN/SPI ION DK are not included with the standard N-Series ION CAN/SPI DK. These items must be purchased
separately from the indicated manufacturer.
Only the above-listed SPI interface module is supported by Pro-Motion. User-designed or other third-party SPI
interface modules will not function correctly with Pro-Motion unless they are 100% compatible with the above
listed SPI interface module.
