Chapter 1 Overview 1
1.1 Introduction This manual will discuss the specifications, functions and application wiring of the APAX-5000 series of I/O modules. Advantech provides different APAX-5000 I/O modules for various applications. The following table outlines Advantech's supported I/O modules. Table 1.
APAX-5000 I/O modules leverage detachable clamp type terminal blocks. Comparing with traditional screw type terminal blocks, clamp type terminal blocks can save up to 75% wiring time and provide better reliability for shock and vibration. Follow the procedures below for wiring your APAX-5000 I/O module. 1. Insert the screw driver into the left hole of the terminal. 2. Insert the wiring into the right hole of the terminal. Please use # 14 AWG ~ 28 AWG wire for terminal block.
1.3 Removing the I/O Terminal APAX-5000 I/O modules provide detachable terminal blocks that are convenient when wiring needs to be changed, because the terminal block can removed and the module doesn't need to be. Refer to the figures below to remove the terminal block. Warning! APAX-5000 I/O modules can be categorized into four categories: AI, AO, DI and DO.
Advantech provides write-on labels for each APAX-5000 I/O module. This write-on label has two sides, one with the model name, specifications and a wiring diagram, while the other side allows users to write information in by themselves. Refer to the figures below for the write-on label details. Chapter 1 1.
1.5 Jumper Settings Some I/O modules need to be configured manually through the onboard jumpers. This section will show you how to adjust the jumper settings. 1. 2. 3. Pull out the write-on label and you can see the location of the jumper. You can use the screw driver to adjust the jumper setting. Once the jumper setting is done, slide the write-on label back to its position.
The controller identifies each APAX-5000 I/O module through the ID number. Therefore, you need to set ID number for each I/O module by the rotary ID switch on the front side. Rotate that ID switch and point the hole on the central axis to corresponding ID number ("0" ~ "F"). Refer to figures below for the location of the rotary ID switch and how to set the ID number by the rotary ID switch. Chapter 1 1.
You can distinguish if the ID number is doubled by the front LED. When the LED color is green, only 0 ~ 15 ID number is used (0 ~ 15 according to the rotary ID switch). Once the LED color is orange, the ID number is doubled (16~31 according to the rotary ID switch). Refer to figure below for its location and how to configure it.
Mechanical Assembly and Power Connection 1.7.1 Wiring Power Input to the Backplane 1. Connect the power supply wire to the power connectors on the 2-slot APAX5002 backplane module. Warning! If you use APAX-5000 digital modules in the same system, use different power supplies for the system and the the digital channels on the modules to ensure isolation protection between digital channels and system. 2. Insert one APAX-5000 I/O module on that APAX-5002 backplane module.
3. Lock that APAX-5000 I/O module to the APAX-5002 backplane by pulling down the module locks. 4. Insert another APAX-5000 I/O module on the same APAX-5002 backplane. Use tongue-and-groove slots to move the module. 5. Lock that APAX-5000 I/O module to the APAX-5002 backplane by pulling down the module locks.
If you need more than one APAX-5000 I/O module, stack another APAX-5002 backplane to the original APAX-5002 backplane. Chapter 1 6. Overview Warning! When you assembly different backplanes together, remember to turn off the power connected to the backplane. If not, the backplanes may be damaged. Turn on the power again after you complete the assembly for all backplanes. 7. Lock the stacked APAX-5002 backplane to the original APAX-5002 backplane by the backplane locks.
8. Insert another APAX-5000 I/O module on the second APAX-5002 backplane. 9. Lock that APAX-5000 I/O module to the second APAX-5002 backplane by pull down the module locks, similar as step 5. 10. If needed, repeat step 8 ~ 9 to have another APAX-5000 I/O module on the same APAX-5002 backplane. If you need more APAX-5000 I/O module, repeat Step 6 ~ Step 10 until all necessary APAX-5000 I/O modules are inserted on the backplanes.
Chapter 1 Overview 1.7.2 Using the APAX-5343E Power Supply Module APAX-5000 I/O modules can also be powered by the APAX-5343E power supply module, connected to the left side of the whole system.
