Installation notes
- The Left and Right Extenders install on T-type DIN rails and are used to extend LocalBus power between carriers on different DIN rails.
- The Left Extender connects to the left side of an 8-Wide I/O Carrier or Power / Controller Carrier and the Right Extender connects to the right side of an 8-Wide I/O Carrier or Power / Controller Carrier.
- Connect an extender to the carrier by sliding together the carrier connector on the side of the extender and the carrier connector on the side of the carrier.
- Typically, one D-shell cable is used to make the connection between the extenders; however, two cables can also be used. Connect A to A for single cables and A to A and B to B for dual cables.
- The Left Extender has a
three position terminal block for system power input when system power is
extended from a power supply installed on another DIN rail.
WARNING!Connect only 12 VDC power to these terminals. Any voltage other than 12 VDC could damage products installed on carriers receiving power from this connection.
- The carriers must be left-aligned on the DIN rails when extenders are used.
- The LocalBus, including all cabling, cannot exceed 6.5 meters (21.3 feet). The following cable lengths are available for use with the extenders:
