Connecting with main devices
Any
Safety Accessory
is connected to the test system´s main device (except for
VOTANO 100
, which is first
connected to
VBO2
, to which the
Safety Accessory
and the
SAB1
are then connected to). The connection is
made to the main device´s
SAFETY
output connector (or in the case of
VOTANO 100
, to the
SAFETY
output connector on
VBO2
) by using a 9-pin D-SUB connector, which is either integrated into the
Safety
Accessory
(
SAA1
) itself or by using a safety connector cable, which has 9-pin D-SUB connectors either at
both ends of the cable (
SAA2
) or at only the other end of the cable (
SAA3
).
NOTE!
Before connecting a
Safety Accessory
to a
SAFETY
output connector remove the factory installed
Safety Connector Dongle
from the
SAFETY
output connector (this does not apply to
VOTANO 100
).
See also 3.2 Use of the main device
The connection must be mechanically secured by tightening either the locking wheels (
SAA1
Beeper Dongle)
or by tightening the locking thumb screws on the D-SUB connectors (
SAA2
and
SAA3
).
It is also possible to cascade (daisy chain)
Safety Accessories
but there are certain limitations and
recommendations regarding cascading and the selection of the used
SAFETY
output connector. These
limitations and recommendations are defined in section 3.1 Cascadability.
3.1
Cascadability
Table 4 below lists the allowed cascading (daisy chaining) combinations for the
Safety Accessories
per one
SAFETY
output. When cascading
Safety Accessories,
the order in which the
Safety Accessories
are
connected to the main device unit can be freely chosen apart from the requirement that the first
Safety
Accessory
connected to the main device
SAFETY
connector must itself have a
SAFETY
output connector to
enable cascading.
NOTE!
Cascading more than two
Safety Accessories
is only possible with
CPC 80/100
as the main device.
