Step Clock and Direction Outputs
Another key feature offered by the IM483-34P1 is the non-isolated step clock
and direction outputs. These outputs will follow the step and direction inputs.
This allows for multiple drives to be cascaded, with the primary drive receiving
the step/direction signals from the control device, and the drives connected to
the step/direction outputs to follow the primary. Figure A.4 illustrates a
possible connection/application of these outputs.
These outputs used in this configuration would allow the user to electronically
gear or ratio the drives using the MSEL inputs. For instance, if the resolution
of the primary drive was set to 128 and the secondary drive set to 256, when a
move is commanded, the secondary drive will move 1/2 the distance and
velocity of the primary drive.

Optional Screw Terminal Interface for P1
The BB-34-4P is an optional breakout board that plugs directly into the pin
receptacle for P1. This gives the user a screw terminal interface to P1. For
drawings and details please see Appendix D: Accessories, BB-34-4P.
