I/O Cable and Front Panel Connector Configuration
The I/O connector (P3) is a 64-pin DIN standard and was selected because of its high
quality. Although these connectors are generally used with flat-ribbon cables, a
variety of cables and mating connectors are available for most user requirements. The
user should refer to GE's Connector and I/O Cable Application Guide (GE's
Document No. 825-000000-006) for additional information concerning the variety of
possible cabling and connector types available.
Details concerning input connections are shown in Figure 2-5 below. Figure 2-5 has
conductor number 1 shown at the bottom of the connector as it plugs into the header,
due to pin number 1 of P3 being mounted as shown.
Connector pin assignments for the 32 output channels of the VMIVME-2533 are
shown in Table 2-1 on page 29. The VMIVME-2533 is a differential output board, and
so Pin "A" of each row is the output high side, and Pin "C" of each row is the low side
of the assigned channel. The output connector pin configuration for P3 is shown in
Figure 2-6 on page 28. Figure 2-7 on page 30 shows the pinout of the P1 and P2
connectors that connect the board to the VMEbus backplane.
A compatible flat-ribbon cable connector for the VMIVME-2533 is Panduit No.
120-964-435E, and the strain relief is Panduit No. 100-000-032.
