limit of 60 items. Five RLY-6 and five GPI-6 interfaces would provide 30 relays
and 30 inputs for a total of 60 inputs and outputs.
IMF-3 Interface Module Frame Wiring
To Matrix
To connect the GPI-6 to the matrix, plug one end of an RJ-45 cable (eight wires
with no reversal) into the GPI/RLY INTERFACE connector on the back of the
matrix. Plug the other end into the top RJ-45 (CH. A MATRIX) connector for
the GPI-6.
To connect an additional GPI-6 interface, plug one end of a short RJ-45 cable
into the lower RJ-45 (CH. B MATRIX) for the first GPI-6. Then, plug the other
end into the top RJ-45 (CH. A MATRIX) connector for the additional GPI-6.
Additional GPI-6 interfaces are added in the same way, using daisy-chain wiring.
If you require multiple GPI-6 interfaces, the inputs in the first will be numbered
1 through 6, the inputs in the second will be numbered 7 through 12, etc. RLY-6
interfaces can be mixed in this daisy-chained scheme. The maximum combined
length of all the RJ-45 cables should not exceed 20 ft. (6 m).
To External Device
To connect external devices to the GPI-6 interface, use the two DB-9M
connectors on the rear cable assembly panel for the interface. Figure 10 shows the
pin assignment of these connectors as viewed from the matrix side of the
connector.
If a DB-9F is plugged into the connector labeled CH. A I/O, inputs 1 through 3
are available on that connector. The connector labeled CH. B I/O has inputs 4
through 6. In Figure 10, the labels on the pins apply to either connector.
