PanelConnect Output Features and Typical Configuration
PanelConnect Output Features
16-Point Output PanelConnect Module with two 12-pin Mini-Plus Connectors
These modules are normally used with Connection systems with LEDs on the distribution box or directly to some pneumatic valve manifolds. Each 12-pin Mini-Plus connector mates with a 12-conductor main patch cord that connects to the distribution box or pneumatic valve manifold. Additionally on the field connection side, various outputs (including pneumatic valves) connect with a variety of connector styles. AC and DC versions of the PanelConnect module are available to meet the output voltage requirements. Up to 16 outputs can be connected to each PanelConnect module. Each PanelConnect Module has an LED to indicate when the module is powered. On the internal panel side, the PanelConnect mates with a cable to connect to a PLC-output module. Cables are available to connect to the most popular Allen-Bradley PLC output modules. Modules are available in NEMA Type 4 or 4X versions.
16-Point Output PanelConnect Module with two 12-pin M23 Connectors
These modules are used with Connection systems with or without LEDs on the distribution box or directly to some pneumatic valve manifolds. Each 12-pin M23 connector mates with a ten, eleven, or twelve conductor main patch cord that connects to the distribution box or pneumatic valve manifold. Additionally on the field connection side, various outputs (including pneumatic valves) connect with a variety of connector styles. AC and DC versions of the PanelConnect module are available to meet the output voltage requirements. Up to 16 outputs can be connected to each PanelConnect module. Each PanelConnect Module has an LED to indicate when the module is powered. On the internal panel side, the PanelConnect mates with a cable to connect to a PLC-output module. Cables are available to connect to the most popular Allen-Bradley PLC output modules. Modules are available in NEMA Type 4 or 4X versions.
32-Point Output PanelConnect Module with four 12-pin Mini-Plus Connectors
These modules are used with Connection systems with LEDs on the distribution box or directly to some pneumatic valve manifolds. Each 12-pin Mini-Plus connector mates with a twelve conductor main patch cord that connects to the distribution box. Additionally on the field connection side, various outputs (including pneumatic valves) connect with a variety of connector styles. 24V DC versions of the PanelConnect module are available to meet the output voltage requirements. Up to 32 outputs can be connected to each PanelConnect module. Each PanelConnect Module has an LED to indicate when the module is powered. On the internal panel side, the PanelConnect mates with a cable to connect to a PLC-output module. Cables are available to connect to the most popular Allen-Bradley PLC output modules. Modules are available in NEMA Type 4 or 4X versions.
Digital Pre-Wired Cables
Bulletin 1492 pre-wired cables are designed to minimize control wiring in a panel. Pre-wired cables, when used with a PanelConnect Module replaces the point-to-point wiring between Allen-Bradley programmable controller I/O modules and individual terminal blocks. The pre-wired cables have a removable terminal block or wiring arm at the I/O end of the cable and a cable connector on the other end to connect to the PanelConnect Module. All of the pre-wired cables use #22 AWG wire and are 100% tested for continuity to make a perfect connection every time. The digital pre-wired cables are offered in four standard lengths of 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0 m to fit a variety of applications. Other cable lengths are also available as build-to-order products. Pre-wired cables are available for many of the 1746 SLC I/O, 1756 ControlLogix, 1769 Compact for CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500, and 1771 (PLC-5) Output Modules.
Ready-to-Wire Digital Cables
PanelConnect-ready cables have a cable connector that attaches to the PanelConnect Module, pre-wired to one end, and have free connectors ready to wire to other suppliers’ I/O modules or other components on the other end. PanelConnect ready cables use #22 AWG wire and have individual color-coded conductors for quick wire-to-terminal coordination. The digital PanelConnect-ready cables are offered in standard lengths of 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0 m to fit a variety of applications. Other cable lengths are also available as build-to-order products.
PanelConnect Fuse Module (optional)
The PanelConnect fuse module provides a convenient method of adding overcurrent protection to your PanelConnect inputs and outputs. This module has sixteen or thirty-two (16 or 32) 5x20 fuse holders to protect each individual input or output. The module has two 20-pin or 40-pin connectors with locking tabs. The right connector is used to connect to the back of the PanelConnect (in-panel connector). The left connector is used to connect to the Input or Output PLC module. The connection between the PanelConnect Module and the Fuse Module is done via the PanelConnect Option Module cable while connection to the PLC is done via PanelConnect pre-wired cables. This module is optional so OEM’s can add fusing based on the needs of their customers.
Digital Option Module Cables
PanelConnect Option Module cable has two over molded cable connectors. The cables use #22 AWG wire and are 100% tested for continuity to make a perfect connection betwen the fuse module and PanelConnect module every time. These cables are offered in five standard lengths of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5, and 5.5 meters to fit a variety of applications.
