Opening the TCNM-ACBB1
To install the TCNM-ACBB1 or during normal maintenance, it is necessary to open it by unscrewing the
two cover screws.
Disconnect the TCNM-ACBB1 from the power supply during this
operation.
Mechanical Installation
TCNM-ACBB1 can be mounted to various wooden or plastic surfaces using the two self-threading screws
(3.9 x 45 mm) and washers provided in the package.
Mounting to other surfaces, such as concrete walls or metallic panels, requires user-supplied parts
(screws, screw anchors, nuts, etc). A mounting template is included in the package to facilitate hole
drilling alignment.
TCNM-ACBB1 can also be mounted to a DIN rail or a Bosch Frame using the mounting accessories.
The diagram below gives the overall dimensions of the TCNM-ACBB1 and shows the two mounting
through-holes.

TCNM-ACBB1 Installation Manual

Electrical Connections and Setup
The following figure shows a typical layout.
The dotted line in the figure refers to an optional (temporary) hardware configuration in which a
portable PC can be quickly connected to the TCNM-ACBB1 (and consequently to the reading device
auxiliary interface) through the internal 9-pin connector. This allows monitoring of the data transmitted
by the reading device or configuration through the utility program (see the reading device Installation
Manual for more details). The reading device auxiliary interface signals are also available on the internal
spring clamp connectors.
After making system cabling and switch settings, connect the reading device to the 25-pin connector on
the TCNM-ACBB1 housing.
Switch ON the TCNM-ACBB1 power switch. The Power LED turns on (blue) when the power connection
has the correct polarity. The Power LED turns on (red) in case of wrong polarity.
After system functioning has been verified, close the TCNM-ACBB1 using the two cover screws.
Power Supply
Power is supplied to the TCNM-ACBB1 through the Vdc and GND pins provided on the spring clamp
connector.
The power switch switches the power supply ON or OFF for both the TCNM-ACBB1 and the connected
reading device.
The power switch does not control power to the Vdc/GND, +V/-V spring
clamps, therefore any devices connected to these signals (i.e. external
trigger, encoder, etc.), are live and are not protected from polarity
inversion. Disconnect the power supply when working inside the TCNM-
ACBB1.

TCNM-ACBB1 Installation Manual
5 p/n 174477 Rev. A
Power Switch ON/OFF Positions and Connections
Vdc is electrically connected to +V, just as GND is electrically connected
to -V. This is useful for supplying external trigger, inputs and outputs
from the TCNM-A CBB1 power source, however +V and -V signals should
not be used as power supply inputs to the TCNM-ACBB1.
The power supply must be between 10 and 30 Vdc only.
To avoid electromagnetic interference:
-Connect TCNM-ACBB1 Protection Earth (Earth) to a good earth
ground.
-Connect the reading device chassis to earth ground through the
jumper, (default setting).
-Connect the Network Cable Shield (Shield) to Filtered Earth through
the jumper (default setting).
System Wiring
The connection and wiring procedure for TCNM-ACBB1 is described as follows:
1) Open the TCNM-ACBB1 by unscrewing the two cover screws.
2) Verify that the TCNM-ACBB1 power switch is off.
3) Unscrew the compression connectors and pass all the system cables through them into the
TCNM-ACBB1 housing.
4) To connect the power and input/output signals:
a. Prepare the individual wires of the system cables by stripping the insulation back
approximately 1 cm.
b. Using a device such as a screwdriver, push down on the lever directly next to the clamp.
c. Insert the wire into the clamp and release the lever.
The wire will now be held in the spring clamp.
5) Tighten the compression connector nuts so that the internal glands seal around the cables.

The input power signals Vdc, GND, and Earth as well as the network signals REF, ID+, ID-, and Shield are
repeated to facilitate system cabling. In this way, the power and network busses can enter and exit the
TCNM-ACBB1 from different spring clamps but be physically connected together.
Power Source Jumper Settings
For most applications, input power is provided through the dedicated spring clamp connectors inside
the TCNM-ACBB1. However, TCNM-ACBB1 may accept power from the connected reading device
through the 25-pin connector. This is useful, for example, to pass power to connected accessories such
as Encoder. See the relative reading device Reference Manual for details.
To power TCNM-ACBB1 from the reading device, place the power source jumper in the "power from
device" position as indicated.
Power Source Jumper Settings
Shield to Protection Earth Jumper Settings
The network cable shield (Shield) can be connected to Earth Ground (Earth) either directly or through a
filter circuit. If the jumper is left open, the network cable shield (Shield) is floating.
Shield to Protection Earth Jumper Settings
Chassis Grounding Jumper Settings
Select the reading device chassis grounding method by positioning a jumper. In this way the reading
device chassis can be connected to earth ground (only if pin Earth is connected to a good earth ground).

Indicator LEDs
There are five Indicator LEDs that signal power and I/O activity and are visible from the outside cover.
The Power LED is blue when power is correctly applied to the TCNM-ACBB1 and the power switch is
turned on. This LED is red if power polarity is incorrect. In this case, the connected reading device and
optional Backup Module are protected.
If external I/O devices are powered through TCNMACBB1(connected to
+V/-V), they are not protected from polarity inversion.
The remaining four LEDs signal activity on the relative I/O lines. Their meaning depends on the software
configuration of the connected reading device.
