Connector J5 - Reserved for factory use

Connector J7 - Reserved for factory use

Connector J8 - Watchdog relay contacts

The watchdog relay will be energized anytime the Run LED (D3) is on. When the relay is energized, the
normally open contact (J8 pin 1) will be connected to the relay 'common' (J8 pin 2). These signals can be
brought out to the 'outside world' allowing external components to monitor the 'basic status' of the motion
controller.

J8 Mating connector:

Pin Housing: Molex P/N 22-01-3027

Crimp pin: Molex P/N 08-50-0114
