Connecting External Devices
Thermo Fisher Scientific Model 5030i SHARP Instruction Manual 2-17
Several components are available for connecting external devices to iSeries
instruments.
These connection options include:
● Individual terminal board PCB assemblies (standard)
● Terminal block and cable kits (optional)
● Individual cables (optional)
For detailed information on the optional connection components, refer to
the “Optional Equipment” chapter. For associated part numbers, refer to
“External Device Connection Components” on page 7-8.
The terminal board PCB assemblies are circuit boards with a D-Sub
connector on one side and a series of screw terminals on the other side.
These assemblies provide a convenient mechanism for connecting wires
from a data system to the analyzer’s I/O connectors.
The following terminal board PCB assemblies are available for iSeries
instruments:
● I/O terminal board PCB assembly, 37 pin (standard)
● D/O terminal board PCB assembly, 37 pin (standard)
● 25-pin terminal board PCB assembly, (included with optional I/O
expansion board)
Figure 2–8 shows the recommended method for attaching the cable
(customer supplied) to the terminal board using the included tie-down and
spacer. Table 2–2 identifies the connector pins and associated signals.
Note Not all of the I/O available in the instrument is brought out on the
supplied terminal board. If more I/O is desired, an alternative means of
connection is required. See optional “Terminal Block and Cable Kits”.
