Overview 1-5
CNC Interface System 
The 1394 9/Series CNC Interface system (1394-SJTxx-E) provides a 
digital servo system to be used with the 9/260 and 9/290 CNC. This 
system provides all power electronics and uses a cost-saving digital 
interface approach. Servo control for this system is handled by the 9/
Series CNC. A fiber optic I/O ring is provided to the 1394 and the 
system is completely interfaced with and programmed using ODS 
(Off-Line Development System) and the CNC operator panel. Allen-
Bradley Remote I/O, MMS/Ethernet (9/260 and 9/290 only), and 
Data Highway Plus (9/260 and 9/290 only) communications are 
available options with the 9/Series CNC interface system.
