Part Number: 186691D-01 ## Overview A universal motion interface enclosure providing screw-terminal connectivity for compatible motion controllers. It breaks out signals from a 68-pin VHDCI connector to facilitate wiring of motor drives, quadrature encoders, limit/home switches, and general-purpose digital I/O. The DIN-rail or panel-mountable chassis simplifies integration into control cabinets for prototyping and deploying custom multi-axis stepper or servo motion control systems in machine automation and robotics. ## Function Four-axis motion control interface providing encoder feedback signal conditioning, digital I/O routing, and analog command signal distribution between motion controller and motor drives/amplifiers. Features differential encoder inputs with programmable digital filtering, 32 optically isolated digital I/O channels, ±10V analog command outputs, limit/home switch inputs, and breakout connectivity for servo/stepper systems. Supports quadrature encoders up to 20 MHz, provides inhibit/enable outputs, and includes watchdog timer for fault protection. Interconnects via 68-pin VHDCI to motion controller and D-SUB connectors to drives. Commonly used in multi-axis CNC machines, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, automated test systems, and precision positioning applications requiring synchronized motion control. ## Platform Breakout interface enclosure providing terminal block connectivity for motion control systems. Accepts 68-pin VHDCI cable from motion controller cards, breaking out signals to screw terminal connections for motor drives, encoders, limit switches, and I/O devices. Compatible with NI 73xx series motion controllers and PCI/PXI platforms. Provides signal conditioning and protection circuitry for encoder inputs, analog command outputs, digital I/O, and safety interlock circuits. Supports stepper and servo motor configurations with differential or single-ended encoder feedback. Interfaces with third-party drives via ±10V analog command signals or step/direction pulses. Common applications include multi-axis motion systems, automated test equipment, precision positioning systems, and industrial automation requiring robust field wiring connections. ## Application Provides modular control and integration platform for precision motion systems; designed to interface with various motion controllers, encoders, and motors via standardized connectors; supports multi-axis motion control, feedback signal processing, and synchronization in industrial automation, robotics, and semiconductor manufacturing environments; facilitates system scalability and customization through enclosure housing that accommodates expansion modules and connectivity options. ## Accessories Requires an NI 73xx series motion controller and an external +5 VDC power supply. Connects to the motion controller via a SHC68-C68-S cable to a 68-pin female VHDCI input connector. Provides screw-terminal blocks for all I/O, including up to four axes of analog or step/direction motor command outputs, quadrature encoder feedback inputs, limit switch inputs, and general-purpose digital I/O. A 2-position screw terminal is used for power input. ## Interface One PXI Express hybrid slot connector for system integration, supporting high-speed data transfer and synchronization with PXIe chassis backplane; front panel 68-pin VHDCI connector for analog and digital I/O signals, enabling connection to sensors and actuators; auxiliary power connector (3-pin) for external power supply; system LED indicators for status monitoring. ## Images - - - -
