Brushless DC Motors
The following table summarizes connections to the Prodigy/CME PC/104 cards when brushless DC motors are used.
Between one and four axes may be connected, depending on the specific Prodigy card and application requirements.
Connections are made through GP Connector, J6 and Option Connector, J5. Both of these connectors are locatable
on the card using Figure 1-1 on page 15.
See Chapter 4, Electrical Reference , on page 69 for a detailed list of connections. See Section 4.2.5, “Option Connector,”
on page 76 for detailed information regarding the Option Connector.
Step Motors
The following table summarizes connections to the Prodigy/CME PC/104 cards when pulse & direction interface
step motors are used. Between one and four axes may be connected, depending on the specific Prodigy card and
application requirements. Unless differential pulse & direction output is desired, all connections are made through
connector GP Connector, J6. This connector is locatable on the card using Figure 1-1 on page 15.
See Chapter 4, Electrical Reference , on page 69 for a detailed list of connections.
Microstepping Motors
The following table summarizes connections to the Prodigy/CME PC/104 cards when microstepping-interface step
motors are used. Between one and four axes may be connected, depending on the specific Prodigy card and
application requirements. All connections are made through the GP Connector, J6, and Option Connector, J5. Both
of these connectors are locatable on the card using Figure 1-1 on page 15.
