6.2 Faceplate Connections and Indicators
The faceplate of the Tonnage and 
Analog Signal module is labeled for 
the connectors that provide for field 
connection of devices and wiring back 
to the OmniLink controller. The CH1, 
CH2, CH3, CH4, CH5, CH6, CH7, 
and CH8 connectors are strain gage 
inputs (CH5 through CH8 are part of 
the 5100-8A option and can read 
voltage and current output sensors in 
addition to strain gage). The 5100-8A 
Option Connector provides 4 outputs 
and one opto-isolated input for use 
with the analog measurement function 
of the option (see section 8.1 on page 
69 for information on this option). 
The 5100-8C Option Connector 
provides connections and power for 4 
optional programmable limit switch 
outputs and 4 die protection inputs (see 
section 8.2 on page 71 for information 
on this option). The serial port 
connector is used to connect to motor 
drives in conjunction with the 5100-
8A option for in-die on-the-fly 
adjustment. The High Speed Serial 
Bus connector is where the unit 
communicates with the operator 
terminal and control. The Power 
Connector provides the unit with 
operating power. There are also two 
LED indicators. The red indicator is 
lit when the unit is providing 
termination to the high speed serial bus 
(see section 6.5 on page 54). The 
green indicator shows the power status 
of the unit and should be steady-on. If blinking, the unit likely has a hardware fault. At a minimum, 
The Power Connector, High Speed Serial Bus, and two or more strain gages must be connected for 
proper operation.

6.3 Wiring Power for the Module
The Tonnage & Analog Signal Monitor module receives its power from the Power Connector as shown 
in Figure 22. The connector used for this is a double connection plug as shown in Figure 23. This 
allows power to be “daisy-chained” from module to module for convenience. However, unlike the high
