    APAX-5000 I/O modules through the backplanes. Refer to Section 3.1 for the assembly operation. APAX-5070 is equipped with 2 RJ-45 LAN ports, sharing the same IP address with a built-in Ethernet switch. This makes APAX-5070 able to build a line or star topology.
  • Page 9 Figure 1.2 Star Topology for APAX-5070 Warning! DO NOT connect the two LAN ports on one APAX-5070 to the same Ethernet switch as shown above. The communication won't work. The default IP address is 10.0.0.1. User can change the IP address by APAX utility or .NET class libraries.

    The built-in watchdog timer is designed to automatically reset the microprocessor if the system fails. This feature greatly reduces the level of maintenance required and makes the APAX-5070 ideal for use in applications which require a high level of sys- tem stability.

  • Page 11: Data Stream

    APAX-5070 periodically and actively send data to specific device. User can write a program to receive and analyze the data on that device. Refer to the APAX-5070 Software Manual for how to configure Data Stream function- ality in APAX utility.

    APAX-5000 I/O module on the same backplane module. That I/O module can be con- trolled by by remote controller or PC through APAX-5070. If you want to have more APAX-5000 I/O modules to be controlled, simply stacked other APAX-5002 back- planes to the original backplane, and inserted APAX-5000 I/O modules on the stacked backplanes.
  • Page 19 Step 2: Insert APAX-5070 on the APAX-5002 backplane module. Step 3: Lock APAX-5070 to the APAX-5002 backplane by pulling down the module locks on two sides. APAX-5070 User Manual...
  • Page 20 Step 4: Insert another APAX-5000 I/O module on the same APAX-5002 backplane. Use tongue-and-groove slots to move the module. Step 5: Lock that APAX-5000 I/O module to the APAX-5002 backplane by pulling down the module locks on two sides. APAX-5070 User Manual...
  • Page 21 If not, the backplanes may be damaged. Turn on the power again after you complete the assembly for all backplanes. Step 7: Lock the stacked APAX-5002 backplane to the original APAX-5002 backplane by the backplane locks on two sides. APAX-5070 User Manual...
  • Page 22 If you need more APAX-5000 I/O module, repeat Step 6 ~ Step 10 until all necessary APAX-5000 I/O modules are inserted on the backplanes. When the total number of APAX-5070 and APAX-5000 I/O modules is odd, you can use 1-slot APAX-5001 backplane module as the last backplane in the system.

    3.1.2 Standalone Controller (with APAX-5343E as Power Input) APAX-5070 and other APAX-5000 I/O modules can also be powered by the APAX- 5343E power supply module, connected to the left side of the whole system. The power can be transferred to APAX-5070 and other APAX-5000 I/O modules though the backplanes.

  • Page 33 Step 1: Pull down the DIN-rail lock at the back of the first APAX-5002 backplane. Step 2: Hang the APAX-5002 backplane onto the screw on the wall (panel). The screw for APAX-5002 to hang should be special-designed. We have provided it in accessory. APAX-5070 User Manual...
  • Page 34 Step 3: Mount the first APAX-5002 backplane to the wall (panel) using two standard M4 or #8 panhead screws. We also provide the two screws in accessory. Step 4: Stack Another APAX-5002 backplane to original backplane. Lock the back- plane together. APAX-5070 User Manual...
  • Page 35 (panel). Note! When the total number of APAX-5070 and APAX-5000 I/O modules is odd, you can use APAX-5001 (1-slot backplane) as the last backplane in the system. The procedure to screw APAX-5001 on the wall (panel) is similar as APAX-5002.
  • Page 36 Step 7: Insert APAX-5070 and all necessary APAX-5000 I/O modules to the back- planes. (Similar to Step 2, Step 4 and Step 8 in section 3.1.1) Step 8: Lock APAX-5070 and all necessary APAX-5000 I/O module to the backplane by pull down the buckle. (Similar to Step 3, Step 5 and Step 9 in section 3.1.1) Warning! APAX-5070 will generate a significant heat, which is dissipated via a passive ventilation system.
  • Page 37 We suggest reserving clearance space between the enclosure walls and adjacent equipment. The placement should be no closer than 50 mm (2 in.) apart on all sides, as shown below. This provides ventilation and makes assembly easier. APAX-5070 User Manual...
