Page 17: Chapter 3 Power And I/O Wiring
Chapter 3 Power and I/O Wiring Power Requirements The Red Lion VersaTRAK mIPm RTU accepts 24 VDC power from a Red Lion power supply or from a user DC power source of 10 to 30 VDC. To calculate the current requirements, add the wattage required for the VT-mIPm and other modules in use. Then divide the total wattage by the DC power source voltage. - Page 18 Chapter 3 Power and I/O Wiring Drawing No. LP1233 On-board I/O Overview Revision A On-board I/O Overview The VT-mIPm comes with integrated discrete and analog I/O on board. Wiring for the available on-board I/O should be made based on the wiring diagram shown in the figure below. A hardware summary for each of the available I/O is described below.

RS232 Port B Wiring The RJ45 serial port connector bodies on Red Lion VT-mIPm-XXX-D products are not metallic. Therefore, shielded cables may be used to provide further protection by connecting the shield to the Chassis GND terminal (SCW 23). To prevent ground loops, the cable shield should be tied to the metal connector body at one end of the cable only. - Page 27 Drawing No. LP1233 Chapter 4 Communications Connections Revision A Communication Ports VT-mIPm-XXX-D PM50 RS232 Port B RJ45 RS232 SCW 1 to 6 3, 4 VT-mIPm-XXX-D PM50 RS232 Port B RJ45 RS232 SCW 1 to 6 PIN 2 TXD PIN 3 RXD PIN 5 COMMON FEMALE 3, 4...
