SMEMA
For manufacturing lines (multiple machines utilizing conveyor systems), it is necessary for
the individual modules to communicate reliably. Make sure the SMEMA and Intermodule
cables are correctly connected.
Note: On the diagrams, the J# refers to the label on the machine, not the label on the
cable.
The Surface Mount Equipment Manufacturers Association (SMEMA) Electrical Equipment
Interface Standard is used to make sure the sequence of boards is correct. If these
connections are not in place, boards cannot move from one machine to another.
SMEMA cables have male 14-pin amp-type CPC connectors. The cables are straight-
through so orientation does not matter. On each module, the wire to the J1 plug must
connect to the J2 plug on the machine upstream. Similarly, the J2 plug on each machine
must connect to the J1 plug on the machine downstream, as shown below.
