16-Axis MACRO CPU Hardware Reference Manual
6 Hardware Setup
Board Connections
The connection of Compact MACRO Station to other stations on the MACRO ring is achieved by
connecting the output connector of the Compact MACRO Station to the input connector of the next
station, and by connecting the output connector of the previous station to the input connector of the
Compact MACRO Station. There must be a completely connected ring with all stations powered up, for
any communications to occur on the ring.
Connector Summary
The connectors on the 16-Axis MACRO CPU are found on both the main (603719-10x) board and on an
I/O daughter card (603720-10x) that plugs into the main board.
Main Board Connections (603719)
J4: *
JISP: For Factory use only
J14, J17:
RJ45: MACRO Copper I/O (OPT C)
P1:
JEXP: Backplane Expansion Port Connector
TB1:
JPWR: 4-Pin Terminal Block
TB2:
JWD: Watchdog Relay Terminal block
U73:
MACRO Fiber Optic Connector (OPT A)
* Typically, these connectors are not designated as end-user interfaces. The pinouts are not included
in this hardware reference manual. Consult the factory if pinout information is needed.
I/O Daughter Board Connections (603720)
J2: *
JDISP: 40x2 Segment Display Connector
J3:*
JHW: Two channel handwheel encoder /Two Channel Pulse/Direction Outputs
J4: *
JRS232: RS232 Serial Communication port
* Typically, these connectors are not designated as end-user interfaces. The pinouts are not included
in this hardware reference manual. Consult the factory if pinout information is needed.
Optical Fiber Ring Connection: The U73 integrated fiber optic transceiver is used for both the optical
fiber input and the optical fiber output connections to the MACRO ring. With the component side of the
board up and the opening facing front, the input socket is on the right, and the output socket is on the left
(these are marked on the component).
RJ45 Electrical Ring Connection: The J14 connector is used for the input from the previous station on
the MACRO ring if electrical connection is used and the J17 connector is used for the output to the next
station on the MACRO ring.
Backplane UBUS Expansion Port: The P2 96-pin DIN header is used to connect to expansion port
accessories such as the Acc-9E, 10E, 11E, 12E, and 14E I/O boards, or the Acc-24E2x axis boards,
through an Acc-Ux UBUS backplane board. It can be used also to bring in 5V power, and optionally +/-
15V power, from a backplane or breakout board to the entire MACRO Station.
Power Terminal Block: The TB1 4-point terminal block can be used to bring in 5V power and
optionally +/-15V power to the entire MACRO Station. In a UMAC (pack) configuration, usually the
power is brought in through the backplane.
Watchdog Terminal Block: The TB2 4-point terminal block can be used to send normally opened or
open normally closed circuits in the event of a watchdog failure at the 16-Axis MACRO CPU.
