Connection Example
The communications framework of the PCI-DMC-A01/PCI-DMC-B01 interface is based on the
TM
Delta Motion Control Network (DMCNET
) protocol. Fig. 1.1 is a diagram of the connection
example. As Fig. 1.1 shows, when you wish to use the PCI-DMC-A01 for communications then
connect one end of the network cable (See section 1.2 Hardware Specifications: Cabling Type) to
port CN2 on the PCI-DMC-A01 card (Fig. 1.1 A-side) and the other end of the Slave Module (Fig.
1.1 B-side: Port CN6 of Delta ASDA -A2-F Drive).
Make sure that both ends of the network cable use RJ45 connectors with metal shielding
(indicated by the yellow arrow in Fig. 1.2). The last Slave Module in the link must have a Terminal
(see Fig. 1.3 left) connected to its RJ45 port (Fig. 1.1 B-side: Port CN6 of Delta ASDA -A2-F
Drive).
Terminal Instructions: Connect pin 1 and pin 2 of the RJ45 connector (Fig. 1.3: right side) with a
150Ω (Ohm) resistor, and then connect pin 3 and pin 6 with another 150Ω (Ohm) resistor to make
a Terminal.
