Connector for 24V Power Supply:
Phoenix Contact: 18 28 346 MCVR 1,5/2 STF-3.81: 24V,0V
Caution: laptop users
Observe the following sequence when connecting a laptop to a GIN-SAM3:
1. Isolate the power supply of the laptop so that it is only supplied with power
from the battery.
2. Connect the GIN-SAM3 and the laptop by an appropriate serial cable.
3. Reconnect the power supply.
Reason: As a result of the electrical isolation, the laptop power supply levels are
raised to a potential of 110V (providing the laptop is supplied via the mains).
Because there is no assurance with conventional SUB-D connectors that the
shield will contact before the signal lines,there is a risk of potential equalization
taking place via the signal ground line. This will destroy the relevant SIO channel.
Mounting
Box mounting
The standalone box will be mounted on
a grounded wall with two M5 screws.
You have to ensure enough air circu-
lation for cooling.
Shielded lines
It is essential to operate the RS232
interfaces with shielded leads. The
shielding must be connected inside the
connector at both ends to the metallic
connector housing. (Do not ground
through the shield pin!)
The RS422 interface can be operated
with twisted pair wires. For short dis-
tances, an unshielded cable will suffice.
For RS422 connections over long
distances (>400m), it is advisable to
use a shielded twisted pair cable.
Grounding
The GIN-SAM3 board is grounded via
its front panel. Make sure that the con-
nection between the rack housing and
the control cabinet is conductive (EMC
grounding). This is best achieved using
chromatized mounting bars.
The box is grounded via the conductive
backplane.
Shielding plate
If the StandAlone Master is installed
together with drives of the SAC series
in the same rack, a shield plate must
be inserted between the master and the
drives. In addition, the manufacturer
recommends a minimum distance of
5 ... 10cm between the master and
power-voltage-carrying boards. Pos-
sibly provide an empty space.
