Micromod Micro-DCI: 53MC5000 PLC AND PRINTER INTERFACES - Manual (Page 13)

• An available Expansion board slot for the DDI-A APB (slot 3) and/or the DDI-B APB (slot 1).
To determine the Expansion board option card complement, display slot location datapoints
B095 through B099 (for slots 1 through 5 respectively). Option card codes are 128 = Mi-
croLink, 129 = APB, 1 = 6DI/4DO, 2 = Single Channel Analog Input, 3 = Multi-Channel Ana-
log I/O, 4 = 16DI/DO, and 5 = HART Modem. One exception is the 6DI/4DO option card
code (1), which may not appear in the displayed datapoint even if the card occupies a slot lo-
cation. (Instructions to remove and install hardware in the PCS are provided in Table 10-1,
Parts Replacement.)
• An RS-232/485 ITB with ITB-to-PCS cable for each DDI-A/B option. (Instructions to install
an ITB are provided in Section 2.)
• A custom fabricated ITB-to-PLC cable or ITB-to-serial/parallel converter cable for the printer.
These cables are described in the applicable PLC/printer section (Sections 4 through 9) that
follows.
It should be noted that an APB at the proper firmware level in slot 3 can be bridged with a Connec-
tor board to a HART Option Modem card in slot 5 for DDI-A Printer or PLC operation and for HART
Multi-Channel Analog operation.
