Installing Extender Cables for P-Series Hardware

When carriers are installed on separate DIN rails, extender cables are used to extend LocalBus power. Extender cables connect to one-wide carriers on the left and right sides of the 4-wide and 8-wide carriers and to the right side of the PK controller carrier.

Note

The 8-wide carriers must be left-aligned when using extender cables.

A standard installation uses one extender cable; however, dual extender cables can also be used. The following procedure is for a standard installation that uses one carrier extender cable.

To install carrier extender cables

  1. Install the right and left-side one-wide extender cable carriers by sliding together the 48 pin connectors on the sides of the carriers.
  2. Connect the 44-pin D-shell (male) connector on the extender cable to the top D-shell connector labeled A on the right-side carrier and fasten the retainer screws.
  3. Connect the 44-pin D-shell connector on the other end of the cable to the top D-shell connector labeled A on the left-side carrier and fasten the retainer screws.
