Macro Ring Connector Options
If a MACRO interface is desired (which is the usual reason for use of the board), at least one of
the MACRO connector options must be selected.
• Option A provides the MACRO-ring fiber optic SC-style interface connector. The key
component on the board is U49.
• Option C provides the MACRO-ring RJ-45 electrical interface connectors. The key
components on the board are CN3 and CN4.
Option 1: Additional MACRO Interface ICs
• Option 1A provides the first additional MACRO interface IC (2 total) for 16 additional
MACRO nodes, eight additional servo nodes and eight additional I/O nodes (32 nodes total, 16
servo and 16 I/O). The key component on the board is U41.
• Option 1B provides the second additional MACRO interface IC (3 total) for 16 additional
MACRO nodes, eight additional servo nodes and eight additional I/O nodes (48 nodes total, 24
servo and 24 I/O). The key component on the board is U42. Option 1A is a pre-requisite.
• Option 1C provides the third additional MACRO interface IC (4 total) for 16 additional
MACRO nodes, eight additional servo nodes and 8 additional I/O nodes (64 nodes total, 32 servo
and 32 I/O). The key component on the board is U43. Options 1A and 1B are pre-requisites.
