2-10 Construct Your Starter Kit

They need to have another 24v power source. The Starter Kit power
will come from the open style tap connected to your power supply.

The 1792D-CBFM cable base using a KwikLink flat media system
accommodates the following cable routings while maintaining full
IP67 sealing integrity. Determine if your network system will pass
through or end at this cable base. These options are available:

DeviceNet and Auxiliary Power cables both pass through the
base.

DeviceNet cable only passes through the base.

DeviceNet passes through, and Auxiliary Power ends at this
base.

Both DeviceNet and Auxiliary Power end at this base.

IMPORTANT

For the Starter Kits, you will not be using the power
option for the AmorBlock MaXum I/O. Install the caps to
seal the power opening.

IMPORTANT

Because the Starter Kit is a simple application, you
are going to power an output, such as the
CompactBlock off the DeviceNet Network. In a real
world application you would not do this. You would
use the power cable from the ArmorBlock MaXum to
power your outputs. Refer to Appendix B in
publication DN- 6.7.2, DeviceNet Cable Planning and
Installation Manual for more information.

IMPORTANT

If you place the ArmorBlock at the end of a cable
run, you must apply end caps to cables that end at
the base prior to installation. The caps seal the
cables. The cable, with the end cap applied, must
end between the two lines on the cable base as
shown below. When Auxiliary Power is not used,
seal both openings to the power slot.
