AN-X2-MOD-MON
May 2016
The AN-X-MOD-MON should be located at the end of the network trunk, at the opposite
end from the master, or connected using a Modicon Redundant Controller splitter.
Remove the terminator previously at the end of the network trunk.
If it isn’t practical to connect the AN-X2-MOD-MON to the end of the network trunk, it
can be connected using a Modicon trunk splitter. Refer to the Modicon Remote I/O
Cable System Planning and Installation Guide for details.
WARNING!
The use of more than one splitter as a branching device on the RIO
network is never permitted.
If you remove an AN-X-MOD-MON from the S908 network, make sure the network is
properly terminated after you remove it.
The AN-X module does not connect the S908 cable to earth ground. If a connection to
ground is required, use an F connector grounding block.
Ethernet Cabling
AN-X has a standard RJ-45 connector for connecting to Ethernet.
If you are connecting to the AN-X through a router or switch, use a standard Ethernet
cable.
If you are connecting directly between a computer and AN-X, use a crossover cable.
CE Installations
If you are installing the AN-X2 in a location which requires CE, install the following
ferrites or their equivalents on the cables, to meet the requirements of radiated emissions
