I/O PLEXER

Communication Wiring

Back to Chapter 2a


Host to I/O PLEXER - RS-422:

Figure 2-11 RS-422 Host to I/O PLEXER Wiring

The wiring figure shows two individually shielded twisted pairs of AWG 24 (such as Beldon 9729) with the shields connected between unit grounds. In a perfect world with no electrical noise and equal ground potentials everywhere, the ground connection is not required. Not using the ground connection can lead to costly debugging.

These connections, which require the cover to be removed, are made by placing a 1/4 inch stripped wire into the openings of the wire clamp terminal block and tightening the screw. This block is socketed for easy removal. An alternative means for network connection is to use the 10-pin male connector located behind the clamp terminal block. This connector mates with Molex shell, number 50-57-9005, and uses pins 16-02-0103.

In addition to the Host-to-I/O PLEXER wiring, the installer should confirm that the Network Type switches are set in the correct positions, Multidrop, Repeat or Last Unit. Refer to Appendix A for details concerning the switches marked "PULL-UP" in figure 2-5.
