Adding Additional IO (non-Plasma Systems)

ESS

If the existing IO (both the M12 sensor inputs and the screw terminals on the CRP850-00E-F01 Breakout Board) are not enough for your application, it is possible to add an additional ribbon cable and breakout board to the Ethernet Smoothstepper (ESS). Port 3 on the ESS is a standard 26-pin low profile male parallel port connector. Connecting this to an external breakout board will expose 4 outputs, 8 inputs, and 5 bi-directional pins. You will need at minimum:

  • A ribbon cable with appropriate connectors. To power the breakout board from the ESS a 26-pin connector on both ends is required.
  • A breakout board with appropriate connectors and opto-isolation for the input signals.
