Installing Premium Racks

The following steps provide an overview of how to install Premium racks in an M580 system.

Step

Action

1

Install an M580 CPU on the main local rack.

2

Connect a Modicon X80 extended rack to the main local rack via X Bus extension cable.

NOTE: The maximum X Bus cable length between the M580 main local rack and the first Modicon X80 extended local rack is 30 m (98 ft).

3

Connect a TSX RKY •EX Premium rack to the Modicon X80 extended local rack via X Bus extension cable.

4

If desired, connect a Premium extended rack to the Premium main rack via X Bus extension cable.

NOTE: The maximum X Bus cable length between the M580 main local rack and the last Premium extended local rack is 100 m (328 ft). Maximum cable length between two racks (X80 rack or Premium rack) is 30m (98 ft).
NOTE: Use proper extender modules and bus terminators on each rack.

The following figure displays a Premium extended local rack connected to an M580 main local rack through a Modicon X80 extended local rack. The M580 CPU manages the I/O and intelligent/special purpose modules on the Premium local rack.

3 Premium extended local rack

4 extension rack module

5 bus terminator module

6 X Bus connection on the rack

7 Ethernet connection on the rack

8 maximum X Bus cable length between the M580 main local rack (1) and the Modicon X80 extended local rack (2) is 30 m (98 ft)

9 maximum X Bus cable length between the M580 main local rack (1) and the Premium extended local rack (4) is 100 m (328 ft)

10 X Bus extension cable

NOTE: Premium remote racks that use TSX REY 200 modules are not supported.

Premium motion, communication, and safety modules are not supported.

Use Premium TSX TLY EX bus terminators on each end of the X Bus cable.

Use TSX XTVS Y100 surge arrestors at both ends of Premium rack-to-rack cables that are greater than 28 m (91 ft).

Connecting a Premium rack to a Modicon X80 remote rack is not supported.

Cable Installation

The following types of X Bus cables can be used to connect Premium racks to an M580 rack:
