Installing Ribbon Cables
Ribbon cables are used for connecting:
• Between Regulator Board (BDSR) and Power Interface Board
(PIFS),
• Between Power Interface Boards (PIFS).
For a single unit or for master unit with multiple units connected in
parallel, the Regulator Board is connected to the Power Interface
Board with a ribbon cable. Also, ribbon cable is used for
connection between the Power Interface Boards of the master unit
and the slave unit, and between the Power Interface Boards of the
slave units.
Figure 4.18 shows typical connection with ribbon cables.
When multiple units are connected in parallel, the master unit must
be installed at the rightmost end viewed from the front side as
shown in Figure 4.18.
