Between the first and the second cluster, a
Connection Cable with Power Supply (K72)
is
installed. This cable directly connects the CAN bus signals between the devices.
The power supply is routed only in forward direction, towards the second cluster. There is no
connection of power lines between the two LEMO plugs of the cable.
The two banana plug cables are connected to the LEMO plug marked with the white label.
CAUTION:
Make sure to install cable K72 correctly - the marked LEMO plug must be con-
nected into "CAN" of the first device in the second cluster.
►
The example above shows a
Cable Coupler (K71)
between the second and the third
cluster.
This part can be used to connect two
Connection Cables (K70 or K72)
in order to get a
longer connection between two devices/clusters.
►
The last cluster has its own power supply with a
Connection Cable with Power Supply
(K72)
, similar to the second cluster.
Please refer to the previous chapter 6.1 Hints for power supply for more information about choosing a
suitable power supply strategy.

Using the OUT MiniModul
In general, the above mentioned methods apply also to OUT MiniModul, but due to its configurable
output channels, some special points must be highlighted.
6.4.1 Applications with different output configurations
The OUT MiniModul offers eight individual configurable output channels. That requires special atten-
tion when designing the measure setup.
►
Analog voltage
►
Current
►
Frequency
►
PWM-/ duty cycle
►
Digital
An OUT MiniModul may require up to 8
W!
Before installing the OUT MiniModul check the power consumption of
the desired configuration in the office or laboratory.
►
Depending on the output type and the load of the output channels the power consumption
may range from 1.2 W to 8.0 W (see technical data in chapter 9.3 Power Consumption).
►
The maximum rating for the output signal is up to 8 channels at
15
V with a current of up to
20
mA, allowing a total load of 2.4
W.
►
Depending on the supply voltage, the OUT MiniModul may require an input current of up to
1A!
It may be necessary to use a separate power supply in this case.
