connectors on the rear of the associated IMF-3 frame per the actual
application. Special interfaces such as the RLY-6 and GPI-6 are
connected directly via an RJ-45 connector on the rear of the matrix to
the appropriate interface input connector on an IMF-3 frame.
External Computer - To connect the computer to the Eclipse matrix,
use the supplied DB-9 cable or a commercially available shielded
RS-232 cable. If an RS-232 cable is used, be sure it provides the
connections described in "Wiring for Serial Connection" in Chapter 4.
Note: If the ECS computer does not have a serial port, but only
offers USB, adapters are available from computer parts
suppliers.
The matrix can be connected to an Ethernet network through the two
standard RJ-45 Ethernet connectors labeled LAN 1 and LAN 2 on the
Eclipse matrix. Ethernet connection allows one or more matrices to be
controlled from one or more computers on a network. See Chapter 4
for more information.
Note: If these ports are used a ferrite must be added to the socket
end of each cable. A suitable ferrite is Würth Electronik part:
74271132.
Note: Shielded CAT-5 cable should be used.
External Alarm Connection - Eclipse matrices have built-in fault alarm
systems. If it is desirable to repeat this alarm with some remote alarm,
relay contacts are available on the matrix frame’s rear panel. If some
external alarm condition needs to be added to the frame’s alarm
system, the same connector on the rear panel
ALARM I / O will allow an
external contact closure to be connected to the frame’s alarm system.
Note: Shielded cables should be used.
7. Connect to Mains AC Power
Each component of the Eclipse system requires AC power except for
the IMF-3 and some expansion panels. The IMF-3 requires an external
power supply. The XP-type expansion panels receive power from the
panels to which they are connected.
Matrices
Eclipse matrices have two separate AC power connectors for two
separate power supplies in the system. Either power supply will
completely power a system, providing 100% power redundancy. If the
two power supplies are connected to different AC power sources and
one of the power supplies loses power, the other will continue to
operate the system.
AC voltage for the matrices and the PSU-101 can be 100 to 240 VAC
without any switching or fuse changes.
