Stage Connections and Accessories
Figure 4 shows how the stages are connected to the PDXC2 controller. The DB15 connector connects with the
ORIC® Piezoelectric Inertia Drive Stages with Optical Encoders (i.e. PDX1(/M)) or connects with stages which have
a SMC connector (i.e. PD1) through the PDXC2AD DB15 to SMC adapter cable.
Figure 4 Connections Between Stages and PDXC2
The section below lists the connection components and accessories packed along with this controller. The PDXC2
controller is equipped with and powered by the DS12 12 V AC/DC adapter, which is compatible with 100 - 240 VAC,
50 - 60 Hz power sources.
