explicit to the command.
The Subsea Microcontroller board has 4 plugs to mate to the Connector PCB.
They are:
PL1 – Power In
PL2 – Inputs / Outputs (Telemetry data, Frame Tilt data, Altimeter data,
Penetration, Cone Up, Neptune 3000 Inverter Status)
PL3 – Cone Power, Cone Data, Cone Comms, and Pressure Sensor
PL4 – Inverter Control via digital (Neptune 5000) or analogue (Neptune 3000)
