Cabling with 733x controller

[LenH]

The 733x motion controller has two connectors - one for "motion I/O" and one for "digital I/O".

I simply want to bring both of these out to screw terminals, but the docs are very vague as to which cables to use for the motion I/O connector.

Can I use the SH68-68-D1 cable and the CB-68LP unshielded I/O connector block for BOTH motion and digital I/O? The compatibility charts that I can find do not specify any cable/connector block combination for the motion I/O connection. The UMI-7764 is overkill and unnecessary for my application.

Thanks for the help.

To use the 73xx boards with a CB-68LP you need the SH68-C68-S cable. The CB-68LP has the same connector like the UMI-7764 so you need to use the same cable. The SH68-68-D1 cable is not an option as it doesn't fit to the 73xx boards.

SH68-C68-S order information:

2 m ...........................................186381-02
0.5 m .........................................186381-0R5
