INTRODUCTION
The Communication Termination Module (NICL01) provides a
termination point for a Network Interface Slave Module
(INNIS01) or a Loop Interface Module (INLIM03). The ICL can
terminate either twinaxial or coaxial cable when connecting
the NIS to INFI-NET or the LIM to Plant Loop. The cable type is
selected through jumper settings on the ICL. Figure
shows
an example of the NICL01 within a PCU on the INFI-NET com-
munication highway.
INTENDED USER
Technicians should read the manual before installing the ICL.
Do not put the ICL into operation until you read and under-
stand this instruction.
HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
The ICL mounts in a Termination Mounting Unit (NTMU01/
02), inside the INFI 90
®
cabinet. It is a printed circuit board
that consists of:
•
Terminal strips
•
BNC connectors
•
Passive electronic components
•
Jumpers
•
Fuse
FEATURES
The NICL01 provides connectors for both twinaxial cable and
coaxial cable. Jumpers on the circuit board are set to match
the impedance of the cable being used. The +24 VDC supplied
to the board is fused, protecting the electronic circuitry on
board.
INSTRUCTION CONTENT
This manual has five sections and two appendices.
Provides
an overview of the ICL.
Explains physical installation, wiring and cable requirements,
