DR500 Operation and Technical Manual
The following two output signals are the analog outputs for the joystick interface. The
joystick interface also includes three logic level outputs that are connected to the joystick
buttons. The button C input is significant because it is the interlock for the joystick,
indicating when it is connected to the system. The UNIDEX 500/U600 tests this input on
power-up or reset so that the joystick may be calibrated for optimum performance. The
controller can also sense if the joystick has become disconnected while in use, preventing
a run-away condition. The U500/U600 manuals provide additional information
concerning these signals.
Pin 89 - Joystick Potentiometer 1 Output
Pin 90 - Joystick Potentiometer 2 Output
The following three logic inputs are used by the joystick interface for mode selection and
detection of the joystick.
concerning these signals.
Pin 91 - Joystick Button A Output
Pin 92 - Joystick Button B Output
Pin 93 - Joystick (Button C) Interlock
Pin 94 - Brake Output
The following two input signals are spare A/D signals to the U500/U600. One of these
may be used as an MFO input. The U500/U600 manuals provide additional information
concerning these signals.
Pin 95 - Analog A/D 0
Pin 96 - Analog A/D 1
The following two signals vary from U500 to U600. See their respective Hardware
manuals for complete information.
Pin 97 - Emergency Stop
Pin 98 - User Interrupt Input
Pin 99 - Opto Isolator Anodes
Pin 100 - Interlock Receive Output
