connector. If power is applied with these pins misaligned, it causes the I/O
board to be damaged beyond repair.
Conformal Coating
Applying conformal coating to a WINSYSTEMS product does not in itself
void the product warranty, if it is properly removed prior to return.
Coating can change thermal characteristics and impedes our ability to
test, diagnose, and repair products. Any coated product sent to
WINSYSTEMS for repair will be returned at customer expense and no
service will be performed.
Operations/Product Manuals
Every embedded computer and panel PC has an Operations manual or
Product manual.
Periodic updates
—Operations/product manuals are updated often.
Periodically check the WINSYSTEMS website (
http://www.winsystems.com
)
for revisions.
Check pinouts
—Always check the pinout and connector locations in the
manual before plugging in a cable. Many I/O modules have identical
headers for different functions and plugging a cable into the wrong
header can have disastrous results.
Contact an Applications Engineer
—If a diagram or chart in a manual
does not seem to match your system, or if you have additional questions,
contact a WINSYSTEMS Applications Engineer at +1-817-274-7553.
