B) Sd/SdHC Flash Memory Card Slot
(One Sd/SdHC compatible socket)
This socket is compatible with both standard Sd flash cards and SdHC
flash cards. It will support flash cards up to 32 GBytes in size. It will not cur-
rently support SdXC cards (64 GBytes and larger, as these require licensing
from Microsoft).
C) Backplane Connector
(60 Position Edge Connector)
The BackPlane connection is through a sixty position double sided edge
connector (thirty connections on each side on .1” centers). This is normally
plugged into a card cage which brings out all the backplane connections to
screw terminals, ribbon cable connectors, and other connectors. If needed,
an Insulation Displacement Edge (IDE) connector or other discrete edge
connector can be used to plug in the Br-ANA instead of one of our card
cages.
The first ten positions of the sixty position backplane connector are used
for the ʻSmartʼ Brick Network and J8 connection ('Smart' Brick Network or
optically isolated triggers, Depending on the position of Switch #4 the
ʻSmart/Dumb Brick Switchʼ) and RS-422 Serial Port. They are normally
bussed between all the cards in the card cage (although they can be sepa-
rated by cutting the lines if desired). The card cages all bring the first ten po-
sitions of the 60 position backplane connector out to Rj-12/Rj-45 connectors.
The majority of connections are on the center forty pins of the backplane
connector. What these are used for depends on the type of card that is
plugged into the card cage slot. A Z-Brick or Br-MultiBrick32 uses them for
ʻJ6ʼ digital outputs. A Br-ANA uses these pins for its ʻJ6/Aʼ analog outputs. A
Br-ANA uses them for a combination of inputs and outputs. The card cages
bring out these forty connections to either a forty position screw terminal
block, a forty position ribbon cable connector, or both.
The last ten positions are used to provide power to the Br-ANA. These
wires are ganged to provide a higher current carrying capacity, and brought
out to screw terminals and/or 2.1mm power jacks on the card cages.
The pinout of the sixty position backplane connector is as follows:
