Connection to RoboFocus 3.1

Post by Obelisk »

Just wanted to clarify if this is possible?
"Pocket Powerbox Advance EXT Port" to "Pegasus Astro Stepper Motor Cable RJ45 to DB9" to "RoboFocus 3.1 controller Serial Port"

Or is the "Pegasus Astro Stepper Motor Cable RJ45 to DB9" only to connect a Pegasus Astro Motor Controller to a RoboFocus Motor?

Thanks

You need the eXternal Motor Controller. You can plug this controller to the EXT port of the PPB Advance.

Then you need tje RJ45 to DB9 cable to connect the external motor controller with the Robofocus Motor.

Thanks for the clarification. I have the RoboFocus controller - I was hoping the "EXT" port supported an RS-232 connection.

Unfortunatelly no, it does not do that. It is only to interconnect our products and additional modules.
