Construct Your Starter Kit 2-9
Install the ArmorBlock
MaXum Base Follow these instructions to install the ArmorBlock MaXum base onto the
KwikLink media. Refer to installation instructions that come with the
MaXum Base for additional information.
Mount the Cable Base
For the Starter Kit example you do not need to mount the base. The
KwikLink media system will remain as a moveable table top object.
The section “Mount the Cable Base” for the Starter Kit application is
for informational purposes only.
You can mount the cable base either vertically or horizontally. Cable bases
accommodate either 4 or 8 point ArmorBlock MaXum modules. Additional
space allowances must be made for 8 point ArmorBlock MaXum modules.
Some network installations may subject the cables to a great deal of
flex. In this case, we recommend that you clamp the flat media cable
at a specific distance from the base. Refer to publication, DN-6.7.2,
DeviceNet Cable Planning and Installation Manual for more
information.
Prepare the Flat Media Cables
For the Starter Kit example, you only use the cable through the
network seat. The power seat will not be used. The power seat is
used to power the network and output devices. You cannot draw
power from the network to power output devices such as motors.
