TRICONEX 9565-810F Digital input module

An external termination panel (ETP) is an electrically-passive printed circuit board (PCB) towhich field wiring is easily

attached. A panel connector, terminal blocks, and optionalcomponents are mounted to the PCB and enclosed in a

DIN-rail compatible plastic housing. Atermination panel and associated cable pass input signals from the field directly

to an inputmodule, or pass output signals from an output module directly to field wiring. Thisarrangement permits

the removal or replacement of l/0 modules without disturbing fieldwiring.
Standard termination panels are best for remote marshaling of field wiring where maximumflexibility, hiah density

and simple maintenance is desired. Standard termination panels allowyou to marshal field signals in a separate enclosure up to 99 feet (30 meters) from a Tricon.
A standard termination panel consists of a PCB with all necessary components-such as two-piece terminal blocks,

resistors, fuses and blown-fuse indicators-mounted on a DlN-railcompatible plastic housing. The housing snaps into mounting rails in accordance withDIN 50 22.

9565-810FCompression terminals on the standard panel are designed for use with 24- to 12-gauge (0.3mm2 to 2.1 mm 2) wiring.

Some panels have an optional current-limiting series resistor. othershave a fuse with a blown-fuse indicator, to protect

the field wiring and field deviceStandard termination panels are pre-configured for a specific application. For instance.

commoned standard termination panels can be ordered with commoned power-and-return, olredundant DC power

configurations with a diode-ORing. The thermocouple input terminationpanel provides cold-junction temperature sensors

and can be ordered with upscale, downscale.or programmable burnout detection. A standard termination panel for analog

voltage inputsprovides commoned or non-commoned signal returns, while the current-mode verslon has aprecision resistor at each input point to convert current to voltage.
Each standard termination panel is packaged with a matched interface cable that connects thepanel to the backplane of a

Tricon chassis. A female connector at one end of the cable is keyedto match the male connector on the Tricon backplane.

A male connector on the other end of thecable attaches to the standard termination panel.
