External Encoder Power Supply Connector, April 2010
The introduction of special feedback devices (i.e. Sinusoidal, Serial, and Resolver) and MACRO Fieldbus
connectivity onto the Geo Brick controller/drive series has amplified the 5-volt power budget
significantly. For encoder power requirements exceeding 4 Amperes, an external 5-volt power supply
must be used to drive the encoders. A new connector (+5V ENC PWR) is introduced to support this
scheme.

EEPROM Write-Protect Enable. April 2010
This change protects the Communication EEPROM from brown out conditions, causing the complete
wipe out of the communication firmware. In normal mode operation, the EEPROM is now write-
protected at all times. But in some cases, the write-protect function needs to be disabled. Such cases as:
