vi Operator Panels for i Series Controls User's Manual – September 2002 GFK-1478D
If you decide to interface your own Operator Panel to an i
Series
Control, you will probably need to
use one of the Connection Units listed below. If you do not use either of the first two units, you will
need to interface the MPG via an approved method. For more information, refer to the appropriate
Hardware Connection Manual for your control.
Connection Units
The following Connection Units are available for the i Series CNCs. All units communicate with
the i Series CNC via the I/O Link communication bus. (Refer to the appropriate Hardware
Connection Manual for details.) Note that the MPG interface is operational only with i Series
CNCs.
