This limited warranty is in lieu of all other warranties whether oral or written, expressed or implied. Red Lion’s liability shall not exceed the price of the individual units, which are the basis of the claim. In no event shall Red Lion be liable for any loss of profits, loss of use of facilities or equipment, or other indirect, incidental or consequential damages.
In particular, Red Lion disclaims any responsibility for damages, either direct or consequential, that result from the use of this equipment in any application.
VT-IPM2M. 3. Connect Power and I/O Wiring to On-board I/O and I/O Modules: Connect AC power to the Red Lion or user supplied power supply. Make DC power connections from the power supply to the Red Lion components. Make field wiring connections to the Red Lion I/O modules and any peripheral equipment.
Windows applications. Access the Sixlog functions from within the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit. ISaGRAF The ISaGRAF Workbench allows you to write an IEC 61131 control program for a Red Lion controller or RTU. All six of the IEC 61131 languages are supported, including Ladder Logic and Function Blocks.

Datalogging (optional, requires the Datalogging feature set) If you will be logging data in the Red Lion RTU, then create the appropriate datalog configuration(s) and load them into the unit. Refer to the Sixlog topics in the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit help system for details.
Panel Assembly Most Red Lion components snap onto DIN rail strips fastened to a subpanel. Figure 2-1 shows a sample panel with DIN rail strips and wire duct attached. Recommended DIN rail spacing is 8 inches. This spacing allows room for wire duct to be installed without obstructing field wiring installation.
Power and I/O Wiring The Red Lion VersaTRAK IPm2m RTU accepts 24 VDC power from a Red Lion power supply or from a user DC power source of 10 to 30 VDC. The Red Lion ST-PS-024-05N provides 24VDC @ 5A. The Red Lion RM-PS-024-01F provides 24VDC @ 1A.
DC power source voltage. Then add any current needed for user instrumentation loops. DC Power Wiring: All Red Lion units and user instrumentation loops may be powered from a single DC source. Refer to Figure 3-3 DC power connections to the VT-IPM2M.
RJ45 to DB9 male (modem) adapter. The RJ45 serial port connector bodies on Red Lion products are metallic and are connected to the Chassis GND terminal. Therefore, shielded cables may be used to provide further protection. To prevent ground loops, the cable shield should be tied to the metal connector body at one end of the cable only.

There is one RS485 port available on the unit (See Figure 4-3 for location of this port). The RS485 port establishes a (2- wire, half duplex only) connection to Red Lion’s RemoteTRAK I/O modules or other equipment. Four terminals (for signal GND, 485+, 485-, &...

Make sure there is only one pair of bias resistors acting upon the network. Note: If your RS485 network is made up exclusively of Red Lion devices then these bias resistors are not necessary. Ethernet Port This port is a 10/100BaseTx auto-detecting and auto-crossover Ethernet port (see Figure 4-2 for RJ45 Pin locations).
Power and Status LED The “PWR” LED on the VT-IPM2M indicates its operational and power status: The VT-IPM2M is operating properly. There is no power to the VT-IPM2M or service is required. Contact Red Lion technical support. FAST BLINK This may occur when the VT-IPM2M is being reset, or firmware is to be downloaded from the I/O Tool Kit software.
