Component Function Notes
Power supply module Converts the main AC or DC
power source to the voltages
required by the modules,
radio/modems and
accessories.
Charges the backup battery
and switches to the battery
voltage when the main power
fails (in models with charger.)
See Power Supply Module
and Backup Battery chapter.
CPU module Stores and runs the user
application program, stores
data collected by the I/O
modules and communicates
with the control center, RTUs
and other devices via the
communication ports.
See CPU Module chapter.
CPU plug-in port Enables adding various
communication ports to the
CPU modules.
See CPU Module chapter.
CPU plug-in SRAM Provides static RAM. See CPU Module chapter.
I/O module Matches between the
ACE3600 and signals of
various types/levels.
Interfaces between the
ACE3600 and the process
signals.
See I/O Modules chapter.
Terminal blocks (TB) Connects the signals to the
I/O modules.
See I/O Modules chapter.
Plug-in 24V DC power supply Enables adding 24 V floating
power supplies to I/O
modules for contact “wetting”
and sensor operation.
See I/O Modules chapter.
TB holder kit Holds Module TBs. See I/O Modules chapter.
Cable with TB holder A cable to connect signals to
the I/O modules.
See I/O Modules chapter.
Backup battery Enables backup RTU
operation when main power
fails.
See Power Supply Module
and Backup Battery chapter.
