CPI daisy-chain topology
For an application that requires CPI communication from multiple CSAT3Bs in series, or with a
daisy-chain topology, first connect to each CSAT3B as described in
(p. 24) to give each
sensor a unique CPI address. Then connect a CSAT3BCBL2 to the Power/SDM port and a
CSAT3BCBL3 to the CPI/RS-485 port on the terminal CSAT3B. The opposite end of the power
cable should use an M16 connector to connect with one of the split M16 connectors on the
power/SDM splitter. The opposite end of the CPI cable should use an M16 connector to connect
with one of the split M16 connectors on the CPI/RS-485 splitter.
Screw the sides of the splitters with only one M16 connector to the Power/SDM and CPI/RS-485
ports of the second CSAT3B. Connect another set of cables from these splitters down to the next
CSAT3B. Continue the daisy chain until the last CSAT3B, where a final CSAT3BCBL2 should have
pigtail wire ends to connect to the 12 V and G terminals of a data logger or to a separate 12 to
32 VDC nominal power supply. The final CSAT3BCBL3 should have an RJ45 connector that plugs
into the CPI port of the data logger. The CSAT3HCBL1-L cables from each CSAT3H heater
controller box can either have all go into the same ports or be re-routed to a terminal connector
with one set of wires routed to the data logger for a cleaner configuration. Refer to
(p. 56) for the described connections.
