3.6 Connector Boards 
A connector board connects the module to the field zone. Module and connector board 
form together a functional unit. Insert the connector board into the appropriate slot prior to 
mounting the module. 
 
The following connector boards are available for the module:

3.6.1  Mechanical Coding of Connector Boards 
I/O modules and connector boards are mechanically coded starting from hardware revision 
AS10 to prevent them from being equipped with improper I/O modules. Coding avoids 
incorrect installation of improper I/O modules thus preventing negative effects on redundant 
modules and field zone. A part from that, improper equipment has no effect on the HIMax 
system since only I/O modules that are correctly configured in SILworX enter the RUN 
state.  
I/O modules and the corresponding connector boards have a mechanical coding in form of 
wedges. The coding wedges in the female connector of the connector board match with the 
male connector recesses of the I/O module plug, see 
Figure 5. 
Coded I/O modules can only be plugged in to the corresponding connector boards.
