Connecting the Drives
Each channel (1 to 6) has a 9-pin female D-connector that connects to the user’s
equipment. All six connectors have the same pin assignments (see
for the physical location of each connector. All signal nomenclature is
defined as viewed from the controller. Thus, an output is controlled by the Adept
controller and an input is monitored by the Adept controller.
