A.1.1 NextMove PCI Expansion card
The NextMove PCI Expansion Card is available in 4 or 8 axis variants and provides an additional 20 digital inputs, 12 digital outputs, 4 analog inputs, 4 analog outputs (drive command outputs) and a relay. However, there are no CAN functions. The electrical specification of the I/O is the same as the main NextMove PCI card. The card requires its own additional breakout module and
NextMove PCI supports either one or two expansion cards. Connection to the cards is made through a bridging PCB (the expansion interconnect) that connects across the top of the cards.

Note: If two expansion cards are used then the dual interconnect board is needed. It is advisable to exert a retaining force on the interconnect board, to prevent it working loose due to vibration.
