Preparations

The pins of the RS-232 interface used in the N8000 are indicated in the following illustration and table. Connections which are not given are internally connected in the N8000 so that the communication between the N8000 and the connected device is possible via a software handshake system. The cable which is used for the connection should not be longer than 15 meters.

CONTROL PORT

The control port on the rear of N8000 is divided into two parts. Two Phoenix connectors (6-pin) are included in delivery in order to be able to connect external components.

Control Inputs

The upper part, which is marked as INPUTS 0-10V on the device, provides four freely programmable control inputs for voltages between 0 volt and 10 volts. The inputs are numbered in order from 1 to 4. The N8000 provides its own voltage supply for externaly connected monitoring elements, e.g. potentiometers or switches. The voltage supply is available at the 10V REF and GND connectors of the control port.

ATTENTION:

The maximum allowable current at the 10 V REF is 100 mA.
