The digital control connector accepts wires sizes from AWG 14 to

 

AWG 30. Note that wire sizes smaller than AWG 24 are not

 

recommended. Disconnect the connector plug to make your wire

 

connections.

 

It is good engineering practice to twist and shield all signal wires to and from

NOTE

 

the digital connectors. If shielded wire is used, connect only one end of the

 

shield to chassis ground to prevent ground loops.

The following chart describes the possible pin configuration for the digital port functions. For a complete description of the electrical characteristics of the digital I/O port, refer to Appendix A.

In addition to the configurable pin functions, the active signal polarity for each pin is also configurable. When Positive polarity is selected, a logical true signal is a voltage high at the pin. When Negative polarity is selected, a logical true signal is a voltage low at the pin.
