7. I/O Companion Slot Cable Type TC-207
This type of cable, and the modules/field termination assemblies it is used with, is shown in Figure 7
below.
Figure 7 I/O Companion Slot Cable Type TC-207
This type of Trusted TM I/O Companion Slot Cable is designed for use with digital 24V/120V dc or
analogue output modules and is suitable for connecting output signals from the module to an external
FTA.
Three multi-core cables are used for this application. The chassis end of multi-core 1 is fitted with two
96-way type ‘C’ connectors housed in a double-width hood. The non-chassis end of multi-core 1 is
fitted with a 96-way type ‘R’ connector housed in a single-width hood enabling connection to an FTA.
The non-chassis end of multi-core 2 is fitted with a 5-way BLZF 3.5 series connector enabling the cable
to be terminated at a T8290 Output Power Distribution Unit. This cable is used for field power return.
The non-chassis end of multi-core 3 is fitted with a 6-way Amp plug used to connect power to the field
from a T8290 or T8297 and is made up of five individual 2.5mm wires contained within Rilgain
sleeving.
The 0V connection at the chassis end allows a module reference so that it can measure its output
voltage, this must be connected to the field 0 Volts.
The FTA contains isolated power group field 0 Volts which connect to field 0V supply. Commoning of
the reference is obtained by a connection between this field supply and the T8290 Output power
distribution unit (TB1 pins 1 and 2).
Multi-core 1 is stripped back 1.5m at both ends. Multi-cores 1, 2 and 3 are shrouded in nylon Rilgain
sheathing. The ends of the sheathing are heated, or over sleeved as required to prevent fraying.
At both the chassis and remote end, a sheathed braid allows the connector hood to be wired to safety
earth. At the remote end, the multicore screen drain is wired to a green wire to allow connection to
screen earth.
