Function
Provides operating power to the Developer’s Kit card.
Inputs various motor-related signals.
Provides communication to/from the card when a
multi-drop RS485 is used.
Provides high voltage, high current connections to the
motor from the amplifier output.
Inputs and outputs various signals for use with a
remote switching block.
Inputs and outputs various non-motor command and
feedback signals to/from the Developer’s Kit card.
Provides RS-232 communication to/from the card using
an on-card transceiver driver chip. This connector is
designed to interface without null-modem or other
changes to a DB-9 PC serial port.

2.7.1 Initial Setup
To initially set up the Developer’s Kit card for checkout and verification, four connectors must be used - J1
(Power), J2 (motor feedback), J4 (motor), and J7 (serial port). In addition, the host connector (J6) is frequently
used during testing after initial setup, in which case the serial port becomes optional. The signal connections for
these connectors are indicated in the following sections. For a complete description of all connectors see
section 5,
Electrical Reference, page 33.
