P7000 direct connect cable pinout help please

[Big_Guy]

What is the pinout for the cable used to connect the P70360 stepper drive to the UMI-7774?

The cable hooks up the high density D-sub 26 pin Command I/O on the P70360 stepper drive and the DB15 Control connection on the UMI-7774.

This cable is refered to as the P7000 direct connect cable in the pdf file at link http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/372324b.pdf.  The NI part number of this cable is 198141-2R5 if this helps anyone.

I ordered three of these cables but it is over a 3 week lead time and I need a solution quick.  I just need to fabricate a cable up to write and test my code until I get the actual cable.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

here is the pinout:



I have informed motion control R&D about this missing piece of information.

Kind regards,

But this is only one side pinout.

How exactly HDB26M connected with DB15M ?

Hi Jochen Klier, National Instruments: did you get a reply from R&D on how to crossconnect the HDB26M connected with DB15M? I need to connect my NI 9512 to a p7060.... Thx

Hi,

I need to fabricate this P70000 Director Cable as well, as the lead time for the NI cable takes too long.

Can anyone advice the cross-connection between HDB26M connected with DB15M?

This information is listed in each of the manuals.  Here is a link to the P70360 manual, and here is one to the UMI-7774 manual. Here is a picture of this information so you can connect the correct terminals:

Hello,

Thank you for posting the separate diagrams. It would also be really helpful to see how they are connected. Since there are a dissimilar number of connections, not all of the J4 pins can be mated... I was speaking with a NI app engr and he said I would not need to connect the low side of the step and dir pairs... Is that true? Is that the condition the Danaher manual (P7000DC Revision A.pdf) describes here "The input circuitry is suitable for use with 5-volt logic (single ended ordifferential). It is best to drive the input to both logic states rather than utilize open collector transistor"?

My original question to the NI engr was about ground. Is Pin J4-9 (GND) connected to one of the digital grounds in the UMI777X or something else?

Thank you for your assistance,

Ian

That wording you quoted seems to back up what the applications engineer said.  As far as how to hook these two devices together, I'll look into this in some more depth and get back with you soon.

Sorry to drag up an old thread - but I need to wire a UMI7774 to  3 x P70530 drives and don't want to use the NI cable (my UMI is going to be mounted inside a relatively small enclosure, and about 30 cm from my P70530, 3 x 2.5m cables is a touch overkill!!).

I have the pinouts from each manual, but the cable is not a simple pin to pin correlation (we bought 1 for testing purposes). There are some other things going on in there (pull up/down resistors and I think a diode or two...).

Is there a circuit diagram for the actual cable somewhere as that would really help me out!

Thanks

Paul

I'm curious is anyone has ever figured this out, as I am running into a similar problem.

thanks
