I/OBus Accessories
Overview
Modicon provides several cabling solutions for I/OBus:
Low profile cables in two lengths
A 1m cable for connecting devices on different DIN rails in a cabinet
A connector kit for building custom-length Interbus cables
This section describes those solutions.
Low Profile
Cables
For side-by-side mounting of the CPU with Interbus I/O modules on a DIN rail or
wall, Modicon provides two specially molded low profile cables.
These cables have a male 9-in D-shell connector on one end and a female 9-pin D-
shell on the other. The male connector plugs into the female I/OBus port on the
Processor Adapter, and the female connector plugs into the male connector on the
left side of a 170 INT 110 00 Interbus Communications Adapter on an I/O base.
Additional cables can then be used to connect a series of I/O modules via their
Interbus communication ports.
1 m Cable
A 1m (39 in) Interbus cable (170 MCI 100 00) is also available to allow you to
connect modules on separate DIN rails.
Note:
The connectors on the 170 MCI 100 00 cable are not low profile.
