ControlNet Modular Repeater Medium-distance Fiber Module Module Components The illustration shows the components that comprise the 1786-RPFM module. Indicators Protective Caps Channel 1 Fiber Port Right-side Backplane Connector with Protective Cover Module Locking Tab Channel 2 Fiber Port Both sides of the module contain a backplane connector. 42505 Mount the Module Mount the module on a 35 x 7.5 mm (1.38 x 0.30 in.) DIN rail, Allen-Bradley part number 199-DR1, 46277, EN 50022.
ControlNet Modular Repeater Medium-distance Fiber Module 7 Mounting Dimensions 111 (4.44) 100 (4.0) 69 (2.76) 101.2 (4.048) 90 (3.6) 42501 All dimensions are in mm (in.). 1. Position the module at a 30° angle. 42507 2. Hook the lip on the back of the module to the top of the DIN rail and press the bottom of the module until the locking tab snaps securely in place. TIP Use a screwdriver to move the locking tab downward, if the module is not secured.
ControlNet Modular Repeater Medium-distance Fiber Module WARNING: If you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Protective Backplane Cap DIN Rail Protective Cap 41900 Both sides of the module contain a backplane connector. If Then You will connect another module Remove the protective backplane cap.
ControlNet Modular Repeater Medium-distance Fiber Module 9 If Then You will use a channel Remove the protective cap from the channel. You will not use a channel Keep the protective cap on to protect the channel from dust. You place the module in storage Keep the protective cap on to protect the channel from dust. 4. If applicable, slide the module to the left to mate with the repeater adapter or another repeater module.
ControlNet Modular Repeater Medium-distance Fiber Module You can attach a maximum of four modules to the repeater adapter, or, the number of modules whose total power consumption does not exceed 1.6 A @ 5V DC, whichever occurs first. IMPORTANT If you exceed the module or power limit, you may damage the repeater adapter and modules. Select Fiber Cable The type of fiber cable you choose depends on the network environment. The quality of fiber cable determines the distance you can achieve.
ControlNet Modular Repeater Medium-distance Fiber Module 11 Connect the Fiber Module If you are wiring only one channel, you can use either channel 1 or channel 2. Do these steps to connect to channel 1, receive (RX). 1. Align the knob of the cable connector with the groove of the module connector. 2. Insert the connector into channel 1 RX. 3. Twist the receive connector until the bayonet lug locks into place. 4. Repeat these procedures to connect to channel 1, transmit (TX).
ControlNet Modular Repeater Medium-distance Fiber Module Troubleshoot the Module Use the channel 1 or 2 status indicators to check module status and troubleshoot the module. Channel 1 Status Channel 2 Status 30041 Indicator Probable Cause Off Repeater not connected to the power supply. Green Channel is operating normally. Flashing Green No activity on the channel. ATTENTION: Class 1 laser product. Laser radiation is present when the system is open and interlocks bypassed.
