	LED Color						Meaning
	Green			Power On
	Red			System or software fault detected. The user can choose to enable or disable the indicator by setting the
				FAULT flag. FAULT=TRUE (1) will cause the LED to illuminated whenever an ERROR occurs.

	Pin #		Function					Description
						Pins 1 and 2 are the differentially buffered signal for group 1, #1 or I/O 11. The default for this
	1		Direction - (I/O 11)			signal is the direction output for the primary motor drive of the controller. If desired, this signal may
						be programmed as a quadrature or up/down clock type or a user output. This I/O may not be
						programmed as an input.
	2		Direction + (I/O 11)			See description above.
						Pins 3 and 4 are the differentially buffered signal for group 1, #2 or I/O 12. The default for this
	3	Step Clock - (I/O 12)				signal is the step clock output for the primary motor drive of the controller. If desired, this signal
						may be programmed as a quadrature or up/down clock type or a user output. This I/O may not be
						programmed as an input.
	4	Step Clock + (I/O 12)				See description above.
	5		Ground (GND)			Common to the power ground on pin 1 of connector P1. This is provided as a signal return for
						the motion control signals and the power return for the 5VDC in/out on pin 6.
						This can be 5 volts in or out. When the control module is powered via connector P1, this terminal
	6		+5VDC			provides up to 150 ma of regulated 5VDC for user circuits such as encoders. If desired,
						however, this terminal may be used as a power input connection. It should be noted that a fully
						configured LYNX system may require up to 800 ma current from this 5 VDC supply.
						Pins 7 and 8 are the differential receive inputs for the RS-485 communications interface. They
	7		RS-485 RX- Input			should be left disconnected if they are not used. For specific connection information, see Section
						5: The Communications Interface.
	8		RS-485 RX+ Input			See description above.
						Pins 9 and 10 are the differential transmit outputs for the RS-485 communications interface. They
	9	RS-485 TX- Output				should be left disconnected if they are not used. For specific connection information, see Section
						5: The Communications Interface.
	10	RS-485 TX+ Output				See description above.
	11		Communications			Isolated communications ground signal for both RS-485 and RS-232. For specific connection
			Ground (CGND)			information, see Section 7: The Communications Interface.
	12		RS-232 RX Input			Receive input from the host computer.		For specific connection information, see Section		5: The
						Communications Interface.
	13		RS-232 TX Output			Transmit output to the host computer.		For specific connection information, see Section	5: The
						Communications Interface.
