2.4.2 Interface Connections
Figure 2-3 shows the typical interconnections between the Distribution Board, the Motor
Controller Board, the Stepper Motor, and the Position Encoder. Figure 2-1 describes the
interconnections between the Distribution Board and the Motor Controller. Table 2-3
describes the interconnections between each Motor Controller and its respective stepper
motor and position encoder. The tables also identify the connectors and their pin
assignments.
