Gilderfluke&Co BR-SmartMedia - Manual (Page 21)

On the Back of the BR-SmartMedia
The BackPlane connections to the BR-SmartMedia is through a sixty posi-
tion double sided edge connector (thirty connections on each side on .1”
centers). This is normally plugged into a card cage, but can also be used
with an IDS or other discrete edge connectors.
The first ten positions are used for the ‘Smart’ Brick Network and J8 con-
nection ('Smart' Brick Network or optically isolated triggers, Depending on
the position of Switch #4 the ‘Smart/Dumb Brick Switch’) and the primary RS-
422 Serial Port (used for configuration and serial commands). They are nor-
mally bussed between all the cards in the card cage (although they can be
separated by cutting the lines if desired).
The next forty positions are used to connect the majority of the BR-
SmartMedia signals to the output cabling.
The last ten positions are used to provide power to the BR-SmartMedia.
Five pins are used for the positive connection and five are used for ground.
This provides a higher current capacity than single pins would.
The pinout of this connector is as follows:
