Appendix D: Edge™ Machine Interface 169
Machine Interface
The information contained in the Machine Interface Appendix is intended to provide the basic
information for connection of the shape cutting control to the cutting table. Each machine interface
will vary slightly based on the cutting table configuration and features. Additionally, I/O pinout
information may vary slightly based on the configuration of the selected I/O and their locations.
Changes to the I/O configuration may be made in the password protected I/O screen. All controls are
shipped with the default selection of Inputs and interface locations for the selected control Interface
(I/O) configuration. Installation and service should only be performed by a qualified service
technician.
I/O Configuration Type “P” and “M”
I/O Connector
The I/O connector is a standard sex circular CPC connector from AMP. This connector was
specifically chosen for its rugged industrial design and its metal insulation characteristics for EMI/RFI
noise immunity. The control can ship with two different versions of I/O in this one connector style.
One style is single ended I/O (Type “P” configuration) and the other is double-ended I/O (Type “M”
configuration).
In the single ended I/O scheme, a ground is provided on the I/O pin. In the double-ended approach,
both the positive and negative pins for the I/O point are provided to the user. The advantage to single
ended I/O is that it takes one pin for each point versus two for the double-ended I/O scheme
increasing the total number of I/O points available to the user.
