Echelon i.LON 600 LonWorks/IP Server - Manual (Page 16)

Section 1: Setting Up and Using the i.LON 600 L ON W ORKS /IP Server
Wiring Connections
The i.LON 600 is available in two versions, depending on the type of L ON W ORKS
channel you are using. Models 72601 and 72603 support the FT-10 free topology
channel, while models 72602 and 72604 support the TP/XF-1250 channel.
The i.LON 600 has two rows of screw terminal wiring connections, an RJ-45 (Ethernet)
data connection, and a DB-9 D-connector for connection to a console port.
Figure 3
shows the locations of all i.LON 600 connectors.

Screw Terminal Connectors
The screw terminals are located on the top and bottom edges of the enclosure, and are
numbered 1 to 4 (ascending from left to right) on the bottom, and from 5 to 6 (ascending
from right to left) on the top.
The screw terminals accept 0.34 – 4.0mm 2 (22 – 12AWG for the power connector and 16
– 26AWG for the LonTalk connector) gauge solid wire. The optimum tightening torque
for the screw terminals is 9.217 kg/cm (8 lbs. in.) maximum. For the LonTalk connector,
the optimum tightening torque is 6.913 kg/cm (6 lbs. in.). The ideal flathead screwdriver
tip width is 3mm (0.12”). Wires should be stripped to a length of 7mm (0.28”). Although
not required, it may be useful to use a soldering iron to tin the stripped lengths of any
stranded wires to prevent fraying and inadvertent contact with adjacent terminals.
The screw terminal connections can be divided into two groups:
• Power
• LonTalk
