Accessory Products

Description
Power supply & cable set. This is a US Domestic & International wall adapter power supply
and associated cable that plugs in the Prodigy/CME PC/104 card and provides power
through its Power Connector. If the card receives power through the PC/104 bus then
this accessory is not necessary.
50-pin ribbon cable. This 3 foot long cable connects the right and left motion connectors
(GP Connector) to identical connectors on a receiving card such as the IM-1000 breakout
interconnect card, and it connects the Option Connector to an identical connector on a
receiving card such as the IM-600 breakout interconnect card.
10-pin serial header cable. This 1 foot cable plugs into the card's 10-pin serial header con-
nector and provides a single female DB-9 output with dual serial signals. It can be con-
nected to Cable-4355-01.R to provide dual DB-9 serial outputs.
Dual serial cable. This 5 foot long "Y" cable connects to the DB-9 output of Cable-4301-
01.R and provides two female DB-9 connectors suitable for connection to a PC serial port
or USB-to-serial converter.
CANbus header to RJ45 connector. This 1 foot cable plugs into the card's 8-pin CANbus
header connector and provides an RJ45 output.
CANbus and Ethernet cable. This 2 meter cable connects to the card's CANbus or Ether-
net outputs. It has RJ45 connectors on both ends.
CANbus terminator. This is an RJ45 terminator that may be used to electrically terminate
a CANbus network string.
CANbus splitter. This Y configuration splitter duplicates the CANbus RJ45 connections
into two identical RJ45 connectors, making it easy to connect the card in a daisy chain con-
figuration.
Ethernet header to RJ45 cable. This 5 foot cable plugs into the card's 10-pin Ethernet
header connector and provides an RJ45 output.
20-pin ribbon cable. This 3 foot long cable connects the Pulse & Direction connector to an
identical connector on a receiving card such as on the IM-600 breakout interconnect card.
Parallel encoder input adaptor. This daughter card module allows parallel-word and other
encoders which use the SSI interface format to be directly connected.
