MCI Board Extension

The MCI-Board Extension is an optional ex-
pansion board for the MCI Board, which has
the dimensions of a short PCI plug-in board.
The following components can be connected
via a SINUMERIK cable distributor:
•
2 handwheels (either differential or TTL
handwheels)
•
2 sensing probes
•
4 fast digital inputs/outputs each
The electrical connection to the MCI Board is
provided via a 26-pin ribbon cable.
The MCI-Board Extension is available in 2 in-
stallation variants:
•
MCI-Board Extension internal
•
MCI-Board Extension backpack
For mechanical fastening, the MCI-Board Extension internal variant is plugged into
the second PCI slot.
If the second slot is needed for supplementary or option boards (OEM or end user),
the MCI-Board Extension backpack variant can be used. This module is mechani-
cally fastened using a modified housing cover virtually "outside" the PCU 50.
