Figure 11 I/O SmartSlot Cable Type TC-511
This type of Trusted TM I/O SmartSlot Cable is designed for use with analogue or digital input modules
and is suitable for connecting input signals from an internal VFTA to the module.
The chassis end of the multi-core cable is fitted with a 96-way type ‘C’ connector housed in a
single-width hood (TC500). The other end of the multi-core is fitted with one 7-way and five 10-way
Weidmuller BLZF 3.5 series connectors enabling the cable to be terminated at a VFTA.
The VFTA contains isolated power group field 0 Volts which connect to field 0V supply. Commoning of
the reference is obtained by a connection to this field supply.
The multi-core is stripped back 1.5m at both ends, then shrouded in nylon Rilgain sheathing. The ends
of the sheathing are heated or fitted with over sleeving to prevent fraying.
At the chassis end, a sheathed braid allows the connector hood to be wired to safety earth. At the
remote end, the multicore screen drain is wired to a green wire to allow connection to screen earth.
