MPI-16 & MPI-16H POCKET INDEXERS
3-12 Setup and Installation
If you have purchased a INFICON’s MDC-360 Thin Film Controller with your MPI-16
Pocket Indexer, a DSUB-25 Female to DSUB-37 Female cable may have also been
included, as an option. This cable has a set of pre-defined I/Os to ease your wiring for
I/O connections between the MPI-16 and the MDC-360. Connect the DSUB-25 Female
end to the MPI-16 I/O connector and the DSUB-37 Female end to the MDC-360 I/O
connector. All you have to do is to configure your indexer for your crucible, and
program the MDC-360 to drive the indexer.
3.6.2 Interlock Output Connector
Use the 2-Pin terminal block connector (provided) and discrete wires (not provided) to
connect the Interlock Output on the MPI-16 to your e-beam interlock input to prevent the
beam from being on while the crucible is in motion. The MPI-16 Interlock Output is a
relay contact. It closes when it is safe to turn on the e-beam and open up when it is NOT
safe to turn on the beam. Refer to your e-beam gun manual for its safety interlock
requirements.
