The JRS422 connector provides the PMAC with the ability to communicate both in RS422 and RS232. In
addition, this connector is used to daisy chain interconnect multiple PMACs for synchronized operation.
* Note: Required for communications to an RS-422 host port
** Note: Required for communications to an RS-422 or RS-232 host port
*** Note: Output on card @0; input on other cards. These pins are for synchronizing multiple PMACs together
by sharing their phasing and servo clocks. The PMAC designated as card 0 (@0) by its jumpers E40-E43 outputs
its clock signals. Other PMACs designated as cards 1-15 (@1-@F) by their jumpers E40-E43 take these signals
as inputs. If synchronization is desired, these lines should be connected even if serial communications is not used.
