5. PIN ASSIGNMENTS
A DB-15 female connector cable comes with every R356 unit. It receives power and
provides the control connections for the R356 Unit. On the opposite end of the DB-
15 female connector cable, there is a 3 pin connector provided for the converter card
in order for the R356 to communicate with the PC. The four I/O wires are colored
Orange, Orange/White, White and Red/White. This will allow for options such as
solenoids, relays, opto isolators, LED’s and many other input and output connections.
