As an alternative to buying RTBs and connecting the wires yourself, you can buy a wiring
system of:
y interface modules (IFMs) that provide the output terminal blocks for digital I/O modules.
Use the pre-wired cables that match the I/O module to the IFM.
y analog interface modules (AIFMs) that provide the output terminal blocks for analog I/O
modules. Use the pre-wired cables that match the I/O module to the AIFM.
y I/O-module-ready cables. One end of the cable assembly is an RTB that plugs into the
front of the I/O module. The other end has individually color-coded conductors that
connect to a standard terminal block.

A PanelConnect module and its sensor connection system connect sensors directly to I/O
modules using convenient pre-built cables and connectors.
The PanelConnect module mounts on the enclosure and creates the correct seal for the
entry of the sensor connections. You do not need to seal the opening where the sensor
cables enter the enclosure, create custom connectors, or wire to those custom connectors.
