Interface Cable

The DBx Module includes a 15-pin D-Sub male to 37-pin D-Sub male interface cable to integrate the DBx Module with a MagnaDC programmable DC power supply.The interface cable connection is required to allow DBx Module can control the power supply, providing an interface from the DBx Module’s 15-pin DBx Module Interface connector to the power supply’s JS1 37-pin external user I/O connector.

DBx Module Configuration A1 and B1 Interface Cable connection from DBx Module (top) to MagnaDC programmable DC power supply (bottom), along with user provided DC power cable connections.

The Interface Cable’s 15-pin connector is attached to the DBx Module and the 37-pin connector is attached to the MagnaDC programmable DC power supply.

The power supply’s interlock feature must be enabled to allow the BDx Module to perform a shutdown. Refer to the power supply documentation for instructions on how to enable this interlock feature.

Warning

FIRE HAZARD. Failure to connect the Interface Cable or enable interlock on the MagnaDC power supply could result in overheating and catastrophic failure of the BDx Module.
