I/O Communication and Control

USER PORT

The User port allows you to control the Pinnacle unit through a remote controller. The
connector is a 15-pin, subminiature-D, female connector (see the following
illustration).
Figure 4-1. 15-pin User port
You may operate the Pinnacle unit solely through the 15-pin User port. User port
operation does not require connection to a DeviceNet network.

Installation

Disconnect all sources of input power before working on this unit or
anything connected to it.
Note: Signals at the User port can be sensitive to environmental noise. We
recommend that you take standard preventative measures against electro-
magnetic interference (EMI), including using shielded cabling on the User port.
Note: Grounding the User port at the power supply reduces noise interference. To
avoid ground loop problems, you should typically ground only one end.
Refer to the pin descriptions on the following pages when connecting your remote
controller to the User port. Use shielded cabling to avoid EMI problems.
