Introduction

The PACSystems RX3i family provides advanced diagnostics and high performance I/O. 

With a modular design and multiple expansion options, RX3i is the perfect I/O solution for your process, hybrid,

and discrete applications.

Modular, High-Speed Performance RX3i is a rack-based system with a wide range of modules covering digital,

analog, and numerous other specialty I/O types. 

These pluggable and hot-swappable modules allow you to customize the right mix of I/O, with a variety of voltage ranges and current capacities supported to meet

all your application needs. Regardless of the I/O mix you choose, RX3i is built on high speed interfaces to provide rapid and consistent data transfer.

Highly Scalable

With the ability to pair I/O, RX3i allows you to scale your system with ease. 

In addition to I/O that you can put on the main rack, you can expand locally or remotely to connect to additional racks of I/O. 

In fact, RX3i can support as few as 8 I/O points and up to 32 thousand I/O points in a single system. 

With 7 to 16 slot backplanes and 1 slot expansion options, you can create the perfect system to fit your needs.

Function of cable

The I/O Interface Cable assembly consists of a 24-pin I/O connector, a cable, and a 25-pin D-type terminal block connector. 

This cable is used to connect the Power Mate APM Modules (IC693APU301 and IC693APU302) to drives and machines. 

There are two male 24-pin connectors mounted on the front of each Power Mate APM. 

Two of these I/O Interface cables are required for connections to and from the drive and machine. 

Catalog number IC693CBL311 is 10 feet (3 meters) in length and IC693CBL319 is 3 feet (1 meter) in length.

An I/O cable assembly similar to IC693CBL311 and IC693CBL319, 

but with the drain shield wire disconnected from pin B12 and brought outside of the cable housing through an 8”pigtail, 

is also available in two lengths. Catalog number IC693CBL317 is 10 feet (3 meters)

in length and IC693CBL320 is 3 feet (1 meter) in length. 

This cable improves the Power Mate APM’s noise immunity. 

The cable wire code list for these cables is provided in Table 10-5.

To make wiring to the drive and machine easier, each connector on the module is typically connected by

a a short cable (the I/O Interface cable) to a terminal block. 

The cable that connects from the I/O connector to an external terminal block can be shortened to meet the requirements of your installation. 

See manuals GFK-0840 (standard moed) or GFK-0781 (follower mode) for details on APM terminal blocks.

Wiring Information

You must purchase the mating female (socket type) 24-pin connectors (which mate with the I/O Connector on the faceplate of the APM). 

This connector is available under catalog number IC693ACC317. 

This connector has a solder eyelet receptacle and is part of an accessory kit. Optionally, 

other types of the 24-pin connector (for different physical connections) are also available. 

Catalog numbers for these connectors and their associated parts are listed in the following table. 

The list includes catalog numbers for three types of connectors: solder pin, crimp pin, and ribbon cable. 

Each accessory kit contains enough components (D-connectors, backshells, contact pins, etc.) 

to assemble ten single-ended cables of the type specified for each kit.

System Configurations

The Mini Converter can be used in a point-to-point configuration as described above, 

or in a multidrop configuration with the host device configured as the master and one or more programmable controllers configured as slaves.

The multidrop configuration requires a straightthrough (1-to-1) cable from the Mini Converter’s RS-422 port to the first slave PLC’s SNP port.

Other slaves will require a daisy chain connection between slaves. 

A maximum of eight devices can be connected in an RS-422 multidrop configuration.

All of the devices must have a common ground. 

If ground isolation is required, you can use the Isolated Repeater/Converter (IC655CCM590) in place of the Mini Converter.

When using the Mini Converter with a modem connection, 

it may be necessary to jumper RTS to CTS (consult the user’s manual for your modem).

the following cable connections should be used.
