The 1394 9/Series CNC Interface system (1394C-AM50-IH-C) provides a digital servo system which can be used with both the 9/260 and the 9/290 CNC. It is convenient and utilizes an economic digital interface technique. The Servo control for the 1394C-AM50-IH-C  system is controlled by the 9/Series CNC.

The 1394C-AM50-IH-C comes with a fiber optic I/O ring and entirely interfaced system, programmed using an ODS (Offline Development System) and the CNC operator panel.

The easily available options with the 9/Series CNC interface system are Allen-Bradley Remote I/O, MMS/Ethernet (9/260 and 9/290 only), and Data Highway Plus (9/260 and 9/290 only) communications.

The two 1394 system power buses can be linked conveniently by connecting the two DCLMs together. It is, however, crucial to note that the procedure is application-specific and requires proper implementation. Before using the 1394-DCLM for energy storage, the power plug must be installed.

When the 5 or 10 kiloWatt 1394C-AM50-IH-C system module needs a medium of dissipating regenerative energy that goes beyond the capacity prescribed for the internal shunt resistor,  install a 1394 External Shunt Resistor Kit before doing anything else.
