  • Page 16: Communications Ports

    RTU. There are two RS-422 ports on the 6QBI. These ports may be used one at a time, or simultaneously for redundant communications with the 6QBI by two RTUs. Both of the 6QBI RS-422 ports are isolated (shared isolation) and transient protected.

  • Page 17: Serial Fiber Port (Optional)

    J16 enables it for Port 2 (J13). Serial Fiber Port (Optional) The optional Serial Fiber Port (TX/RX) allows for 6QBI communications with the ePAQ-9410 or ePAQ-942x via serial fiber. Connections are made via ST fiber connectors using multimode POF fiber. It may be necessary to remove the 6QBI front cover to reach the fiber connections.

    Failure to do so will render the transient protection circuits on the 6QBI RS-422 ports inoperative, and may result in damage to the board. The J20 grounding tab is also located near the top left swage-on mounting hole.

  • Page 24: Installation

    12 Installation 12.1 General The 6QBI takes up less than half the space of a 6CPP6 panel, and can generally be mounted wherever a 6CPP6 was mounted in the RTU cabinet. The 6QBI and 6CPP6 swage-on standoffs located along the Analog/Status/Control ribbon cable board edge are in the same locations, and accept the same mounting hardware (6-32 screws).

    Products. It serves as a communications interface between the ePAQ-9410/942x or MicroPAQ-940P and the QUICS III (6PIB1 Required) or QUICS IV I/O Cards. The 6QBI mounts in less than half the space of an existing 6CPP6 panel in any existing RTU cabinet.

  • Page 27: Software

    General The 6QBI communicates with either a MicroPAQ-940P or ePAQ-9410/942x. The 6QBI does not require software configuration, and no special 6QBI “Client” is required for either the MicroPAQ-940P or ePAQ-9410/ePAQ-942x, the 6QBI will appear to the gateway as its own local I/O. See the Addendum for more specific configuration information.

  • Page 28: Test Panel (Maintenance)

    The 6QBI appears as a serial Com: port under Windows. Open PC communications program and select the proper 6QBI serial port – it will appear under “connected device” window. Configure the port as 8 bit, 1 stop, no parity, no-flow, 6QBI will connect at any speed.
