The maximum distance between any unit and an Ethernet switch is 328 feet (100 meters) when using copper cabling. Additional Ethernet switches and/or fiber-optic cable can be used to further extend distances between units on a network. Please note that CobraNet limits network extensions to seven hops (one-way transmissions) within a network.
VI-6 REAR PANEL CONTROLS Control Outputs The Control Outputs, labeled 1 through 4, are isolated, voltage-free, software-configurable relay outputs. The individual pins are labeled as follows: 1. (C): the common/ground pin 2. (NC): normally closed (connected to C when relay is not energized) 3. (NO): normally open (connected to C when relay is energized) Control Inputs The Control Inputs are labeled as follows: 1. ( ): logic common/ground input pin 2. (1–4): individual logic inputs 3.
VI-6 INSTALLATION Installation The VI-6 requires one 1.75 inch (44.45mm) high and 19 inch wide rack space with 10 inch (254mm) depth.
