The remote I/O port (RIO) is located on the front of the Color CVIM module
as shown in Figure 2.1. Using the remote I/O port, you can connect the
following types of devices:
•
Allen–Bradley Programmable Controllers (PLC–2, –3, and –5).
•
Host Computers which have the Allen–Bradley IBM Bus Scanner
(Catalog No. 6008–SI). The 6008–SI bus scanner is compatible with the
A–B 6121/22 Industrial Computer, Industrial Terminal (Catalog Nos.
1784– T50, 1784–T35), or other IBM PC/AT compatible devices.
As shown in Figure 2.1, the RS–232 ports are located on the I/O Interface
Boxes (Catalog No. 2801–N21, –N27). The I/O Interface Box is connected to
the MODULE I/O port on the front of the Color CVIM module. Using the
RS–232 interface(s) you can connect a variety of devices which use the
RS–232 standard:
•
Computers
•
Operator Interfaces such as Allen–Bradley Industrial Computers and
Terminals with serial ports.
•
I/O modules such as the Flexible Interface Module (Catalog No.
2760–RB) or ASCII module (Catalog No. 1771–DA).
As shown in Figure 2.1, the local I/O consists of an I/O Board (Catalog No.
2801–JMB), I/O Interface Box (Catalog No. 2801–N21, –N27), an input and
up to 14 output modules as configured by the user. The Catalog No.
2801–NC17 cable connects the I/O interface box to the Color CVIM module.
Using the Pyramid Integrator backplane, you can directly communicate data
between the Color CVIM module and other devices installed in the Pyramid
Integrator chassis:
•
Allen–Bradley PLC–5/250
•
MicroVAX Information Processor
Remote I/O (Node Adapter)
RS–232 Ports
