X13: USB 2.0 Connector
This connector is used in conjunction with USB A-B cable, which can be purchased from any local
computer store and is provided when Option 1A is ordered. The A connector is connected to a PC or Hub
device; the B connector plugs into the J9-USB port.
X14: RJ45, Ethernet Connector
This connector is used for Ethernet communications from the Geo PMAC Drive to a PC.
Note:
Delta Tau Systems strongly recommends the use of RJ45 CAT5e or better shielded
cable.
Newer network cards have the Auto-MDIX feature that eliminates the need for
crossover cabling by performing an internal crossover when a straight cable is
detected during the auto-negotiation process.
For older network cards, one end of the link must perform media dependent interface
(MDI) crossover (MDIX), so that the transmitter on one end of the data link is
connected to the receiver on the other end of the data link (a crossover/patch cable is
typically used). If an RJ45 hub is used, then a regular straight cable must be
implemented.
Maximum length for Ethernet cable should not exceed 100m (330ft).
X15: Watchdog
The X15 connector allows the user to send an output from the Brick Motion Controller to the machine if a
watchdog condition has occurred at the Drive. This is an important safety feature because the Geo is
totally disabled when it is in watchdog condition and this output will allow the other machine’s
hardware/logic to bring the drive to a safe condition.
