The DR5A can communicate using its

• serial RS-232port,
• parallel port,
• optional rear 26-pin programmable GPIO digital and analog port.

The High Voltage DR5V module comes in two basic forms;

DR5VI

• rf-isolated;
• mounted in a grounded case,
• mechanically identical to the DR6VI;
• without bias or peak-to-peak voltage monitoring;

DR5V basic high voltage module,

• mechanically identical to the DR6V, and roughly palm-sized;

The DR5 multidrop system accepts other modules in parallel with the DR5V ...

For example, the DR5P yields 4 additional high voltage channels,

• for 6-output, 3-phase +/-6kV ac chuck drive with palm-sized electronics:

The DR5P also has a multichannel analog and digital GPIO,

• enabling sensors and actuators at the chuck head.

The DR5M is a servomotor drive, shown to the left; requiring a DR5S power supply.

All of these modules communicate over the same coaxial power line

• through a coupling antenna to the DR5A base station,
• which can deliver up to 75W for a usable 50W of power at the isolated chuck head.
