12 VM24 I/O Module
Ribbon Cable Connection
Caution
Remove power to the VM24 before
attaching or removing the cable.
The VM24 is shipped with a 2-foot ribbon cable, with mating connectors.
Connectors are keyed to ensure that they are inserted into mating connectors
correctly. Cable installation for the VM24S, VM24-IN, and VM24-OUT
consists of simply inserting the connector from one end of the cable into the
Programmable I/O connector of the 6000 Series Controller/Indexer, then
inserting the connector at the other end of the cable into connector J4 of the
VM24.
Multi-axis 6000 Series Controller/Indexers have separate input and output
connectors. Therefore, the two multi-axis configurations of the VM24
which offer both inputs and outputs, listed below, require a split cable to
access both of these connectors.
• VM16/8
• VM8/16
The connector that is attached to the portion of the ribbon cable with the red
stripe corresponds to the I/O boards in sockets J2 and J3 — either 16 IN or
16 OUT. This connector should be inserted into its corresponding Input or
Output connector on your 6000 Series Controller/Indexer. See Figures 6 and
7. The connector that is attached to the smaller width of ribbon cable
corresponds to the I/O board in J1 — either the SIM8-IN or SIM8-OUT.
This connector should be inserted into its corresponding Input or Output
connector on your 6000 Series Controller/Indexer.
