This procedure assumes you have your Logix SERCOS interface
module/PCI card and Kinetix 6000 IAM/AM modules mounted and are
ready to connect the fiber-optic cables.
The SERCOS fiber-optic ring is connected using the SERCOS receive
(Rx) and transmit (Tx) connectors. Refer to page 50 to locate the
SERCOS connectors on your Kinetix 6000 IAM/AM. Refer to the figure
below to locate the connectors on your SERCOS interface module or
PCI card.
Plastic cable is available in lengths up to 32 m (105.0 ft). Glass cable is
available in lengths between 50 m (164.2 ft) and 200 m (656.7 ft).

Connect the cable from transmit on the Logix module to receive on
the IAM, then transmit to receive (drive to drive), and from transmit
on the last drive back to receive on the Logix module.
SoftLogix and ControlLogix platforms are used in the examples
beginning below, however, all platforms connect in the same manner.
