This chapter describes how to send input and output signal connections
directly to the controller and briefly describes the associated I/O circuitry.
The PCI-7342 controller has three connectors that handle all signals to and
from the external motion system:
• 68-pin motion I/O connector
• 68-pin digital I/O connector
• RTSI connector
You can connect to your motion system with cables and accessories,
varying from simple screw terminal blocks to enhanced UMI units and
drives.
Figure 5-1 shows the connectors on the PCI-7342 controller. Refer to
