MultiFlex Ethernet Accessories

Accessory	Part Number	Description
Plug-On Interconnection Board (SCSI)	ICN-100	Plug-on SCSI interconnection board features 4 x 68-pin high-density SCSI connectors that are 100% pin-compatible with the MultiFlex PCI Series connectors. Provides a fast and convenient way to connect to external wiring terminal boards, such as the ADAM-3968. The ICN-100 is ideal for bench-top prototyping or for users who wish to substitute a MultiFlex ETH 1000 series controller for an existing MultiFlex PCI 1000 series controller without any wiring changes.
Plug-On Interconnection Boards (D-sub)	ICN-120-0 ICN-120-1 ICN-120-3 ICN-125	ICN-120 series plug-on D-sub interconnection boards allow users to connect directly to external devices such as motor drives, limit switches and encoders via low-cost D-subminiature cables. ICN-120-0: Use with MFX-ETH-1040-0, -1040-2, -1400-0, 1400-2, -1440-0, -1440-2 ICN-120-1: Use with MFX-ETH-1040-1, -1040-3 ICN-120-3: Use with MFX-ETH-1440-1, -1440-3 ICN-125: Use with MFX-ETH-1800-0, 1800-2, 1840-0, -1840-2 or with -1440-0, -1440-1, 1440-2, 1440-3 if more than 16 (up to 32) opto-isolated axis inputs are required.
Plug-On Interconnection Boards (Custom)	ICN-xxx	Custom interconnection boards can be readily designed by PMC or by a user to connect seamlessly to existing external devices and meet the particular needs of an application (contact PMC for more details)
