Installing the VM24 17
VM24 Module Configuration Summary
The VM24 is shipped with the SIM8 boards already installed.
1. Mount the VM24 module (standard DIN rail).
2. Set the jumpers to position 3 (default) for sinking inputs or to position
1 for sourcing inputs. (See page 11).
3. Connect the 50-pin ribbon cable to the I/O connector(s) of the 6000
Series Controller/Indexer (see page 12). Connect the other end of the
cable to the J4 connector of the VM24 module. Make sure that power is
off to the 6000 Series unit before making these connections because the
50-pin ribbon cable provides +5V to the VM24 from the I/O connector.
4. Connect the output pull-up pin OUT-P of the 6000 Series unit to V
o
(J6) of the VM24 module. This ensures the proper sequencing of
outputs upon application of power. Make sure the jumper
between OUT-P and +5V on the 6000 Series unit is
removed to avoid damage to the VM24. (This step is not
necessary for the VM24-IN.)
5. Connect the desired power supply to V
o
at connector J6. Do not apply
power until all connections are made. (This step is not necessary for the
VM24-IN.)
6. Connect the desired power supply to V
i
at connector J6. Do not apply
power until all connections are made. (This step is not necessary for the
VM24-OUT.)
7. Make connections to the desired input and/or output signals using the
screw terminals. (J5). See Pin-Out Table on page 8.
8. Apply power to the VM24 module. The power-up sequence is not
important as long as OUT-P is connected to V
o
.
