AXB-PT10/30 PosiTrack Camera Controllers
Preparing the PosiTrack Controllers for communication
The AXlink Device DIP switch is located beneath the round cover on the back of the PT10 and
PT30. Set these switches to the desired device value based on the number of PosiTrack units being
used in a particular system. The initial unit is defaulted with a device number of #90. Any
additional units must have values that do not conflict with other PosiTrack units being used. Refer
to the Setting the AXlink Device DIP switch (S5) section on page 7 for more information.
Using the lens control DB-15 HD (high density) connector
The PosiTrack Controllers are designed to control servomotor and motor mode camera lenses. See
the Pre-Installation section on page 5 to set the lens switches for servomotor or motor mode.
FIG. 24 shows the DB-15 HD connector pin numbers.
The following table lists the pinouts for motor mode lenses. Pin1 provides lens power from the
PosiTrack’s own power supply when the lens power switch is set to PANJA.
Motor driven outputs are intended to drive conventional motors. These outputs can deliver up to 1 A
of current. The outputs use Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for speed control. The output voltage
values are ± 6 VDC or ±12 VDC. Speed is controlled by varying the duty cycle of the output.

DO NOT connect the motor-mode outputs to servo-mode lenses. This can result in
lens damage.
