E28: Warning Following Error/Watchdog Timer Signal Control 
E Point and 
Physical Layout 
Location Description  Default 
E28 
B3  Jump pin 1 to 2 to allow warning following error 
(Ix12) for the selected coordinate system to control 
FEFCO/ on J8-57. 
Jump pin 2 to 3 to cause Watchdog timer output to 
control FEFCO/ (low true output in either case). 
2-3 Jumper 
installed 
E29 - E33: Phase Clock Frequency Control 
Jumpers E29 through E33 control the speed of the phase clock, and, indirectly, the servo clock, which is 
divided down from the phase clock (see E3 - E6). No more than one of these five jumpers may be on at a 
time.

1. True for standard 20 MHz PMAC and those with Options 4A, 5A, and 5B 
2. True only for PMACs with Option 5
Note: 
If jumper E98 has been changed to connect pins 2-3 (default is 1-2), the phase 
clock frequency is exactly 1/2 that shown in the above table. 
Note: 
If E40-E43 are set so that the card has a software address other than @0, the phase 
clock signal must be received over the serial port from card @0, so these jumpers 
have no effect. 
E34 - E38: Encoder Sampling Clock Frequency Control 
Jumpers E34 - E38 control the encoder sampling clock (SCLK) used by the gate array ICs. No more than 
1 of these 5 jumpers may be on at a time.
