MOTION CONTROL SYSTEM, MSC-250 USER'S GUIDE
MARCH 2003 DESCRIPTION 1 - 15
4. PORT 3: This is a 9-pin D-connector RS-232C serial communications
port. It is accessible through the Macroprogram language for
sending and receiving data and commands. (Refer to "Section
2 - Installation" for proper cable pin-outs for this port.)
5. INPUT/OUTPUT EXPANDER PORT: This 15-pin D-connector is a serial
communications port used to daisy-chain the IOE-850 I/O
Expanders to the controller. It utilizes a proprietary
communications protocol.
6. Command Cable Connector: There is one six-pin command cable connector for
each real axis controlled by the MSC-250. It is used to
communicate indexing commands to the drive amplifier. (Refer
to "Section 2 - Installation" for proper cable pin-outs for this
connector.)
7. Encoder Cable Connector: There is one ten-pin connector for each real axis
controlled by the MSC-250. It is used to communicate the
encoder feedback signals to the controller axis processor.
(Refer to "Section 2 - Installation" for proper cable pin-outs for
this connector.)
8. Line Cord Connector: This 3-pin connector (supplied with system unit) provides the
attachment point for the C-800006 connector cable used to
supply 120 VAC input power and earth ground connection to
the MSC-250 servo controller. (Refer to "Section 2 -
Installation" for proper connections to this port.)
Adjacent to the incoming line are two fuse holders. The one
closest to the line cord is wired, and the second one holds a
spare fuse.
9. Analog Input/Output Connector: This connector (supplied with system unit) provides
contacts for one analog input channel, one analog output
channel, and a reference voltage. Use of these input and
output channels is controlled by the Macroprogram.
10. Fiber Optics Receiver: This receiver is used to receive the protocol for master angle
passing from the Industrial Indexing Systems' EFC-100
encoder-to-fiber-optics converter, RFC-100 resolver-to-fiber-
optics converter, and MCF-850 function card.
11. I/O Connectors: These connectors (supplied with system unit) are used for the
physical connection of the devices actuating and being
actuated by the on-board input and output modules. (Refer to
"Section 2 - Installation" for appropriate input and output
connections.)
