1.5 AutoMax Network Option Board Description
The AutoMax Network Option board makes the FlexPak 3000 or WebPak 3000 drive a
slave drop on the AutoMax network. It is a printed circuit board assembly that mounts
inside the drive and connects to the drive’s Regulator board through a ribbon cable.
The Network Option board is powered from the standard drive power supply.
The Network Option board has a 9-pin D-shell connector that connects to a network
drop cable (M/N 57C381). The network drop cable is then connected to a passive tap
on the AutoMax network.
The board contains its own microprocessor. The microprocessor connects to one port
of the board’s dual-port memory. The other port interfaces with the drive’s Regulator
board.
