6 Alpha Controller Connections
Each Alpha Controller has a different combination of connectors. These connectors serve several purposes, such
as:
• Power
• Tool Connections
• Discrete inputs and outputs
• Communications ports
• Fieldbus ports
6.1 Power Cord
Alpha Controllers use an IEC 60320 style connector. The power source connector for the power cord is based on
customer requirements. The power cord should be rated at either 15A/125V for 115V AC or 10A/250V for 230V
AC power connections.
6.2 Tool Connector
6.2.1 EA, EB and EC Tools
Alpha controllers use a single 30 pin connector to connect one QPM EA DC electric tool cable. QPM EA DC electric
tool cables use a MIL-C-38999 Series III connector. The connector is a 17-30S with the insert clocked in the B
position.
30-pin Tool Connector
6.2.2 E Tools
Alpha controllers use a single 30 pin connector to connect one QPM EA DC electric tool cable. QPM EA DC electric
tool cables use a MIL-C-38999 Series III connector. The connector is a 17-30S with the insert clocked in the normal
position.
30-pin Tool Connector
6.3 USB Connector
The USB connector is used for data transfer between a USB memory stick and the controller, controller upgrades
and for receiving PART ID ASCII data from a USB barcode scanner. No mounting or unmounting of the memory
stick is required. Simply insert a USB memory stick when requested and remove after the operation is complete.
Do not energize the controller with a USB memory stick installed.
