A. DB37 connectors for digital or analog inputs and outputs.

B. In the standard OP4512 configuration, this section contains a DB9 connector module for RS422 signals typically used to transmit differential encoder inputs and outputs, however, other options are available.

See OP4512 I/O Expansion Options below for detailed information on available configuration options.

C. Standard computer connectors (from left to right):

1 Serial Port (COM1)
1 IPMI LAN port
2 USB port 2.0
2 USB port 3.0
2 network Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 Ports
1 VGA Port
Unit Identifier (UID) switch

D. 1 PCIe free slots are available for optional I/O card. See OP4512 PCIe optional I/O cards below.

OP4512 I/O Expansion Options

The OP4512 comes with an RS-422 Connector Kit (OP5969-1) factory installed by default.

The optional Fiber-Optic Connector Kit (OP5969-2) can also be installed. It will replace the default connector kit, since only ONE of these connector kits can be installed in an OP4512 at a time.

The optional connector kit must be selected at the time of purchase and factory-installed.

If the OP3811 or the OP3812 GPS Synchronization Connectors PCIe I/O cards are ordered, none of the following expansion options can be installed because the I/O cards also require a connector plate to be installed in the same location.

RS422 Connector kit (OP5969-1)		DEFAULT connector kit installed The DB9 connectors for RS422 signals are typically used to transmit differential encoder inputs and outputs. Refer to the OP5969-1 User Manual for specifications and pin assignment.
Fiber-Optic Connector kit (OP5969-2)		Optional connector kit Fiber-optic connector kit provides 6 RX and 6 TX channels. These channels can be used as digital I/Os or for low-speed communication protocols. The ORION protocol, developed by OPAL-RT is compatible with these channels and available in custom bitstreams. Refer to the OP5969-2 User Manual for specifications and pin assignment.

OP4512 PCIe Optional I/O cards

There are several PCIe options available for the OP4512.

Only ONE of the I/O cards may be installed in an OP4512 at a time.
The PCIe optional I/O card must be selected at the time of purchase and factory-installed.
