14. I/O SmartSlot Cable Type TC-516
This type of cable, and the modules it is used with, is shown in Figure 14 below.
Figure 14 I/O SmartSlot Cable Type TC-516
This type of Trusted TM I/O SmartSlot Cable is designed for use with digital and analogue output
modules and is suitable for connecting output signals from the module to internal terminals. Power
connections are integral with this type of cable.
The chassis end of the multi-core cable is fitted with a 96-way type ‘C’ connector housed in a
single-width hood (TC-500). The other end of the cable is left as a ‘flying lead’ enabling the cable to be
terminated as required, e.g. connected to conditioned field terminals.
The flying leads are sleeved with identity ferrules marked CH1, CH2, CH3 etc. for channel terminations
or V FIELD GRP1 to V FIELD GRP5 for group field supply terminations or V FIELD RTNGRP1 to V
FIELD RTNGRP5 for group reference terminations.
The 0V connections at the flying lead ends allows a module reference so that it can measure its output
voltage, this must be connected to the field 0 Volts.
The flying lead multi-core 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 cable 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.
