Installing The SLPA

Air, Power, And Communications Connections

CAUTION
Any external communications cables to be used with the SLPA must be
properly shielded and grounded. Failure to provide proper shielding or
grounding for these cables could result in malfunctioning or damage to
the SLPA.
After mounting the SLPA, connect the system as follows:
1. Connect the pad home sensors mounted on the air cylinder to the pad
home port on the interface side panel. (Figure 4.)
2. Connect the interface cable to the serial data port.
3. Connect the opposite end of the interface cable to the serial
communications port of the host which will provide data.
4. Connect the product sensor connector to the trigger port.
NOTE: The I/O port is used to communicate with the SLPA's GPIO inputs
5. If you have the IEEE-1284 parallel communications cable option, attach it
to the data port.
