GFK-0356Q Chapter 7 Input/Output Modules 7-7
7
Modules with Dual 24-Pin Connectors
Three choices are available for connecting these modules
■ Connect to a pair of Terminal Block Quick Connect (TBQC) terminal blocks (IC693ACC337)
using a pair of GE Fanuc cables. Three lengths of cables are available: 20” (0.5 meter), 3 feet
(1 meter), 6 feet (2 meters). The cables come in right hand and left hand types because the
connectors on the modules are oriented differently (see figure 7-2). For details on the terminal
blocks and cables, please see Appendix J.
■ Connect to user supplied terminal block/strip or directly to I/O field devices using a pair of 10
foot (3 meter) GE Fanuc interface cables. These cables have 24-pin connectors on one end for
connecting to the module, and stripped, tinned leads on the other for wiring to a terminal
block/strip or I/O devices. Cable IC693CBL327 is for the left side and IC693CBL328 is for
the right side. These cables are useful if you have to run your wiring through conduit that is
too small for a connector to fit through, or if you need a cable longer than six feet. Chapter 10,
“Cables,” has details on these cables.
■ Build a custom length cable. This is required if you need a cable longer than 10 feet (3
meters). See the IC693CBL327/328 data sheet in Chapter 10 for details on building custom
length cables.
