I/O Companion Slot Cable Type TC-209
This type of cable, and the modules/versatile field termination assemblies it is used with, is
shown in Figure 9 below.
Figure 9 I/O Companion Slot Cable Type TC-209
This type of Trusted I/O Companion Slot Cable is designed for use with digital 24 V/120 Vdc
and analogue output modules and is suitable for connecting output signals from the module
to an internal VFTA. For the T8448 and T8449, it is recommended to use the T8842 VFTA.
Trusted Versatile FTA, publication
(PD-T8842) describes the possible circuits
that may be configured for this VFTA.
Two multi-core cables are required for this application. The chassis end of the multi-core 1 is
fitted with two 96-way type ‘C’ connectors housed in a double-width hood. The other end of
multi-core 1 is fitted with one 7-way and five 10-way BLZF 3.5 series connectors enabling
the cable to be terminated at a VFTA. The non-chassis end of multi-core 2 is fitted with a 6-
way AMP plug used to connect power to the field from a T8290 or T8297. This cable is made
up of five individual 2.5 mm wires contained within Rilgain sleeving. For analogue output or
low current digital output modules using this cable, the T8297 is recommended.
The 0 V connection at the VFTA end allows a module reference so that it can measure its
output voltage, this must be connected to the field 0 Volts.
