Indexer Port
Indexing signals are always present at the Indexer port, so there is no need to turn it on.
It is the customer’s responsibility to provide a harness from the Indexer to the Indexer
port. Before making this harness, see the Parts Listing and Diagrams Manual for the
correct pin-outs.
Network Port
The 10/100Base-T (RJ45) connector is used with the UltiMonitor option. This option
requires a Local Area Network (LAN or “network”) that supports the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
hardware standards. Contact your IT provider for guidance about proper LAN design and
setup.
With UltiMonitor, you can communicate with other CNCs, and with PCs or file servers
connected to your LAN using standard TCP/IP and FTP protocols. UltiMonitor also includes
Extended Shop Floor (ESF) for remote machine monitoring and communication.
USB Port
The USB Port (Universal Serial Bus) is a high-speed port that allows you to connect
devices, such as printers and jump drives to the panel. You can use a jump drive to
transfer files.
