ground wires and the optional brake can be ordered from EMERSON Motion Control or can
be supplied by the user.
Application Modules
An “application module” also called “PCM” can be added to increase the capabilities of the
basic FX drive for applications that require more sophisticated motion control. Application
modules are mounted on the FX drive by two snap handles located at the top and bottom of
the module. When the module is in position, electrical connection is automatically made
using a 48 position connector on the FX drive.

Twelve additional optically isolated I/O are available (eight input and four output) using
removable terminal blocks with screw terminals. The inputs are numbered 13 through 20 and
the outputs are numbered 21 through 24.
A summary of the available features is shown below, followed by a table that provides a cross
reference of available features with appropriate modules.
• Expanded I/O: IOM-1 and all application modules. Twelve additional I/O lines (eight
input and four output) provide additional
• I/O capacity.
• Memory Expansion: All application modules except IOM-1. Memory to support complex
programming and storage.
• Programs: Programs allow you to link Indexes and other functions together for more
complex moves.
• Parallel Interface: IOM-1 and PCM-1, 2 and 4. The parallel interface feature allows the
use of thumbwheels and T-16 numeric displays for programming and drive information.
