The DeltaV system supports left and right 1-wide horizontal carrier extenders. Install the carrier extenders onto the I/O carriers by sliding together the 48 pin connectors on the sides of the carriers. The carrier extenders (right side is KJ4001X1-NA1 and left side is KJ4001X1-NB1) ship with one or two D-shell cables. Typically, one D-shell cable is used; however, two D-shell cables can also be used. Remember that the length of the LocalBus, including all cabling cannot exceed 6.5 meters (21.3 feet). Three cable lengths are available:
- Standard cable (KJ4002X1-BF2), including the left and right carrier extenders, is 1.20 meters (3.9 feet). This cable is typically used for a double door cabinet installation. Refer to "Cabling Examples" for an installation that uses standard cable.
- Short cable (KJ4002X1-BF3), including the left and right carrier extenders, is .87 meters (2.8 feet). This cable is typically used for a single door cabinet installation. The maximum carrier limit is six for this configuration. Figure B-6 on page B-8 shows an installation that uses short cable.
- Extended cable (KJ4002X1-BF4), including the left and right carrier extenders, is 1.53 meters (5 feet). This cable is typically used for custom installations. Be sure that this configuration does not exceed the maximum LocalBus length of 6.5 meters (21.3 feet). Refer to "Cabling Examples" for a custom installation that uses extended cable.
Note
If two D-shell cables are used, they must be routed together from the same source to the same destination.
