Re: PWM Connection Legality?

Thanks didn't know about that!

Anyway quick search through the manual leads me to this

Quote:
4.1.9.13 R67
Every relay module, servo, and PWM motor controller shall be connected via PWM cable to the Digital Sidecar and be
controlled by signals provided from the cRIO via the Digital Sidecar. They shall not be controlled by signals from any
other source.
I think the issue would be an incomplete PWM cable is not a PWM cable and therefore illegal to connect speed controllers and the digital sidecar with.


Out of curiosity what brings up your question?
