Power Input
Regulated Supply Voltage Range: +12 to 48 VDC
Recommended Current for power supply: 200 mA
(Current required for powering the
ACE-SXC. If driver is powered
through DB-9 additional current is
required to power the driver.)
Power and ground signals that are supplied to ACE-SXC through 2 pin connector
are also available through the DB9 pin connector.
Important Note: If the driver is powered through the DB9 connector, make sure that
the voltage of the power supply does not go over the maximum rated power supply
voltage of the driver. For example, DMX-K-DRV maximum allowed voltage is
+24VDC. If ACE-SXC is powered by +48VDC, powering the DMX-K-DRV through
the DB9 connector will damage the driver.
Communication:
Communication: USB 2.0
Connector: Mini-B to A
