APAX-5002/5002L 2-slot Backplane Module

APAX-5002/5002L is an interface between CPU module, coupler and I/O modules. Dif-
ferent APAX-5002/5002L can be stacked together. Power and data can be transferred to
I/O modules inserted on the APAX-5002/5002L. You can use external power supply or
APAX-5343E power supply module to give power to the backplanes and I/O mod-
ules.But only APAX-5002 equips the screw terminal for the external power supply wir-
ing. Refer to Section 1.7.1 and 1.7.2 for the operation procedure.
There is an expansion port on front side of APAX-5002 (APAX-5002L is not equipped
with this feature). With this port, users can build a remote expansion architecture,
remaining fast local-bus data transmission speed. Standard Ethernet cables can be
used to connect any two APAX-5002. However, shielded industrial Ethernet cable
MUST be used instead of standard Ethernet cable when the system is used in harsh
environment, such as factory automation. Unmanaged industrial Ethernet switches
(such as Advantech EKI-2528) with 100 Mbps transmission speed can also be used
between two APAX-5002. Therefore, you can flexibly build any remote expansion
with line, tree or star topology. All the APAX-5000 I/O modules can benefit from the
remote expansion architecture with local bus speed.
Warning! 1. DO NOT use managed switch, hub or router between backplanes for
expansion.
2. The network for the expansion should be a local network, NOT to con-
nect with other external network (such as public network in enterprise
network, including Internet).
3. Cat 6 Ethernet cable is strongly recommended for better data trans-
mission quality.
4. It is suggested to power on all the I/O modules together to avoid any
unpredictable situation.
