Wiring the 2017 Sensors

Hello,

We are a rookie team, and have been trying to configure the sensors available from FIRST Choice, namely the Photoelectric and Ultrasonic Proximity Sensors, both by Rockwell Automation. We have not seen any documentation for connecting these to the RoboRIO, as they are new for the season. Although FIRST released the 2017 hardware overview/wiring overview today, there is no mention in either of wiring sensors.

We are guessing to use attach them to PWM cables, but the sensors' cables have 4 leads (2 power, 2 data), yet the PWM cables have 3, and the RoboRIO only allows for 3-pinned connections?

We are guessing FIRST will update this before kickoff, but have any teams successfully managed to do this? If so, how?

Best,
