Machine Control Breakout Panel
The backplane module for machine control signals has 16 RJ-45 connectors. NVISION offers an
optional machine control breakout panel (BP2-PORT-64) that can be used with up four machine
control backplane modules. The panel has 64 RJ-45 connectors on one side and 64 DE9 (female)
connectors on the other, as shown in Figure 2-6. The DE9 connector wiring follows SMPTE-
defined pin assignment standards. For installation instructions, see Installing Machine Control
Backplanes on page 42.
