Extension Signal (X16)
The connector provides direct access to the signal extension slot EXT2 (
Slots (EXT1 & EXT2)” on page 3-53) thus allowing the use of signal extension cards (such as for addi-
tional absolute sensors or customized signal extensions). The pin assignment is directly related to the
corresponding extension card.
