Chapter 2: Run the Cables – Type B 33
Machine Communications Cable (DXL)
This cable will allow the Duo Camera unit to communicate with advanced Pinsetters such as the AMF
8800Gold, AMF 82-90XL and 90XLi.
These machines allow the Duo to communicate with them at a software level. The Duo determines the score
via the Camera and then tells the Pinsetter the score so that it can behave appropriately (Strike Cycle, 7 – 10 pickoff
etc.)
The cable designation is as follows:
Pinsetter
Cable Designation
AMF 8800 Gold
AMF 82-90XL
AMF 90XLi
DXL
AMF 8800 Gold, 82-90XL and 90XLi
Route the SXL cable from the Duo Hardware Module, along the Ball Track, up the kickback, inside the cable
channel, to the 8290XL, 8800 Gold or 90XLi chassis at the rear of the Pinspotter. The cable is connected to the
CAM/SCORE connector for the 90XLi chassis and the SCORING connector for the 8290XL and 8800 Gold
pinspotters. The SXL cable is a serial communications link that transmits data been the Duo Camera Module and the
pinspotter.
Note: 82-90XL & 8800 Gold DO NOT recognise codes to turn the pinspotter On and
Off from the Duo unit. To enable this optional feature, the Lane Control
Computers must be connected to the MCU (Managers Control Unit) and
software run to enable the MCU commands to be sent from the computer to
the pinspotter. For more information on connecting the MCU to the Lane
Control Computers, see the Appendix C: AMF Managers Control Unit
Connection section in this manual.
The 90Xli DOES contain codes to turn the Pinsetters On and Off without the
need for an MCU interface.
