Configured Bay Control Connection Hardware
Configured bay control connectors are used for control connections between a
configured input bay and configured output bay, so they are only present in
bay lineups that contain both a configured input bay and a configured output
bay. There are two configured bay control connections for each configured
input bay/configured output bay pair:
•
The 24V DC configured bay control connector in the configured input
bay connects to the 24V DC configured bay control connector in the
configured output bay.
•
The 120V AC configured bay control connector in the configured input
bay connects to the 120 AC configured bay control connector in the
configured output bay.
The connection hardware for each of these connections is a bundle of 16 AWG
control cables, with connectors on both ends. The following figures show
configured bay control connectors in various types of bays. Configured bay
control connectors are located inside the bay on the side that contacts the
drive, near the top of the bay. When the bays arrive to the customer, the cables
for the connection are inside the shipping section that includes the drive bays.
During installation, the connectors on the ends of the cables must be
connected to their corresponding configured bay control connector in the
configured input bay and configured output bay. If the configured input bay
was shipped attached to the drive, its configured bay control connections are
made at the factory. The configured bay control connection wires are routed
into the configured bays through a cutout below the connectors. See
