Connection of I/O Modules
The CPU can directly connect to I/O without the use of cables through a system of
built-in plugs and jacks. All I/O modules include two complementary module inter-
connectors.
Creating a system is as simple as physically plugging the modules together.
In vertical extended systems, I/O modules may be located above or below other
modules. In this case, cable assemblies bridge the I/O modules together.
The cable necessary to connect the CPU and external I/O modules is five conductor
and would be attached using a plug-in screw terminal connector. Connection
between the modules is one-to-one straightforward wiring as shown below:
This connector is available from Andover Controls under part number 01-2050-283;
Wieland manufactures it under part number 25.340.0553.0.
