Ibox Inputs And Outputs - MCi iControl User Manual

iBox Inputs and Outputs

The iBox is the processing core of iControl. Most of the controller field wiring connects directly
to the iBox or to expansion boards plugged into buses at the top and bottom of the iBox. These
field connections are primarily along the left side of the iBox (when facing it). Connections to
other iControl components (i.e., braking control, motor drive, Ethernet, serial, etc.) are prima-
rily along the right edge of the iBox.
Connections to the iBox are all on pluggable connectors. Serial, Ethernet, and Serial Hall Call
connections on the right side of the iBox are primarily pre-molded cable assemblies with "D" or
RJ-45 connectors. Connections on the left side of the iBox (position encoder, cartop link, code-
mandated car, limit, hoistway, and other field connections) are also pluggable — primarily indi-
vidual conductors, terminated and locked into connectors that plug into mating connectors on
the iBox.
