2.3.6.3 Digital Output Card
The relay output card (FC6A-R081) or 24VDVC sourcing digital output card (FC6A-T08P1) provide 8 additional
control outputs to the system.
The relay output card (FC6A-R161) or 24VDC sourcing digital output card (FC6A-T16P1) provide 16 additional
control outputs to the system.
2.3.7 Optional Communications Module for Barcode Reader and/or Remote Display
The MCT-CM provides the ability to connect a barcode reader to the system which can be used to automatically
select a ramp/soak program or be used to automatically add operator events (annotations) to a currently
operating data file. The MCT-CM also allows a secondary (remote) display to be added to the system. In order
to do either, an optional cartridge module is required.
This cartridge module (FC6A-HPH1) provides slots for two communications cartridges, an RS232 cartridge for
the barcode reader (FC6A-PC1) and an RS485 cartridge for the remote display (FC6A-PC3). The cartridge for
the barcode reader is inserted into the top slot while the cartridge for the remote display is inserted into the
bottom slot. The cartridge adapter is connected to the left side of the CPU. Like the expansion I/O cards, peel
the sticker off the expansion connector on the left side of the CPU and connect the cartridge module.
