Encoder Back Panel Slot Locations
C.1 Adapter Configurations for All Encoders
Figure C-1 represents the back panel of an encoder. Table C-1 shows the slot number and
the cards/modules that can be installed in encoders that are not associated with a FLEX
module. Table C-2 shows the slot number and the modules associated with the FLEX module
that can be installed. NMX uses the slot number to differentiate between adapters/modules
of the same type within the encoder.
Figure C-1: Slot numbers
Table C-1 shows the cards/modules, software support and configuration recommendations
for non-FLEX based encoders.
