J51 Box In Connections for the Model 494.43 Multibox Board
The J51 Box In connector provides an interface for connecting multiple MTS
controller boxes together to allow sharing of station interlock status and a master
synchronization clock.
Master/dependent
input
The master/dependent input setting (connector pin 8) determines whether a
controller box is master or dependent in the multi-box chain. If this pin is
jumpered to ground, the controller is dependent; if not jumpered to ground, it is
the master. Upon a CPU or interlock reset, software checks the state of this pin
and configures the controller box accordingly.
Cable specification Use MTS cable part number 056-534-1xx.
