5. Once you attach the modules to the DIN rail, slide the modules to the left to attach to
the repeater adapter or another repeater module.
You must use a DIN rail end anchor on the
right side of the copper module if it is the
right-most module.
Because the 1786-RPCD repeater module is part of the modular family of
IMPORTANT
ControlNet repeaters, you must use the 1786-RPA repeater adapter to
supply power and coordinate the modules' TX and RX function.
To ensure proper operation of the 1786-RPCD repeater module, you
must position the 1786-RPCD module to the left of any 1786-RPFRL or
1786-RPFRXL repeater modules in your configuration.
You can attach a maximum of four repeater modules (1786-RPCD) to a
IMPORTANT
repeater adapter (1786-RPA). If you exceed the repeater limit, you may
cause damage to the repeater adapter and repeaters. Four repeaters can
draw up to 1.6A @ 5V dc in power consumption. If you exceed this
power limit, you may cause damage to the repeater adapter and repeaters.
6. Use DIN rail end anchors to secure the units together.
Be certain that you secure the adapter and repeater modules together with
ATTENTION
DIN rail end anchors. Failure to do so may result in loss of communication
and/or damage to modules.
7. Connect terminators to unused channels as shown in Use Trunk Line Terminators on
page 12.
