Supplementary multiaxis system connector¶
This connector placed on the front panel of the multiaxis system and named as External control. There are total 18 such connectors. This connectors are useful for control motors by external devices such as joystick or buttons. Also power, status and border indicators are routed to this connector.

Pin function:
1 - PWRLED1, power indicator LED of the controller 1.
2 - LEFTEDGE1, left border indicator of the controller 1.
3 - LEFTBUTTON1, left button input of the the controller 1.
4 - JOY1, joystick input of the controller 1.
5 - NC, not connected.
6 - +5VP, output +5V.
7 - SYNCOUT, synchronization output of the module.
8 - GND, ground.
9 - NC - not cnnected.
10 - JOY2, joystick input of the controller 2.
11 - LEFTBUTTON2, left button input of the controller 2.
12 - LEFTEDGE2, left border indicator of the controller 2.
13 - PWRLED2, power indicator LED of the controller 2.
14 - STS1, status indicator LED of the controller 1.
15 - RIGHTEDGE1, right border indicator of the controller 1.
16 - RIGHTBUTTON1, right button input of the controller 1.
17 - NC, not connected.
18 - NC, not connected.
19 - SYNCIN, synchronization input of the module.
20 - +3V, output +3V.
21 - NC, not connected.
22 - NC, not connected.
23 - RIGHTBUTTON2, right button input of the controller 2.
24 - RIGHTEDGE2, right border indicator of the controller 2.
25 - STS2, status indicator LED of the controller 2.
Note. The synchronization output goes to the hi-level state if the synchronization outputs of the all 4 controllers in the hi-level state and the synchronization input of the module in the hi-level
state.
Note. If the synchronization input is not connected, it pulls up to the hi-level state by the internal pull-up resistor.
