Assembly and Installation

SixTRAK Panel

Assembly

Most Sixnet components snap onto DIN rail strips fastened to a subpanel. Figure 2-1 shows a

sample panel with DIN rail strips and wire duct attached. Recommended DIN rail spacing is

8 inches. This spacing allows room for wire duct to be installed without obstructing field

wiring installation.

The Sixnet components are typically installed against one another, but space may be left

between modules to accommodate other DIN rail mounted components such as terminal

blocks and fuse holders. End clamps are recommended to restrict side-to-side movement.

Figure 2-2 shows the physical dimensions of the units covered by this manual.

Sixnet components can be installed in any orientation and order on your panel.

Section 3

Power and ST-Bus Wiring

Power

Requirements

Sixnet IPm controllers and RTU accept 24 VDC power from a Sixnet power supply (ST-PS-

024-02N or RM-PS-024-01F) or from a user DC power source of 10 to 30 VDC.

ST-PS-024-02N

(24VDC @ 2A)

The SixTRAK power supply operates on 90 to 260VAC (47 to 63 Hz.). Refer to Figure 3-1

for connections. Tighten these screw terminals to a maximum of 3.48 in-lbs.

ST-PS-024-02N

Power Connections

(Figure 3-1)

RM-PS-024-01F

(24VDC @ 1A)

The RM-PS-024-01F operates on 85-264 VAC (47-63 Hz) or 120-370 VDC. Refer to Figure

3-2 for connections. Tighten the screw terminals to a maximum of 3.48 in-lbs.

RM-PS-024-

01F Power

Connections

(Figure 3-2)

RM-PS-024-01F

Redundant Power

The RM-PS-024-01F allows you to connect auxiliary 24 VDC power (from another RM-PS-

024-01F or other source) to terminals 17 and 18. When auxiliary power is connected, the

RM-PS-024-01F will source most of the power, under normal operating conditions. If the

primary power fails then the auxiliary power will immediately take over.

Current

Requirements

To calculate the current requirements, add the wattage required for the Sixnet controller or

RTU, and modules in use. Then divide the total wattage by the DC power source voltage.

Then add any current needed for user instrumentation loops.

DC Power Wiring

All Sixnet units and user instrumentation loops may be powered from a single DC source.

Refer to Figure 3-3 and 3-4 for typical DC power connections. The user DC power source

must be between 10 to 30 volts.

Redundant Power

Inputs

The SixTRAK IPm and VersaTRAK IPm have redundant power + input terminals. (There is

one common power – terminal.) This allows you to connect two separate power supplies. If

one fails then the other will take over powering your hardware. The SixTRAK I/O Controller

can also have redundant power inputs but requires an externally wired diode. See figure 3-4.

Note: In the SixTRAK IPm and VersaTRAK IPm, the ST C (+) and ST D (-) of the

SixTRAK ST-BUS are internally connected to only the primary power input (terminals 2 and

4). Therefore, when running on only auxiliary power (terminals 3 and 4) then there will be no

power on terminals 16 and 17 (ST C and ST D). If redundant power is desired for the ST-

BUS it is recommended that the auxiliary power + be connected to terminal 16 through an

external diode. The diode should be appropriately sized (current rating) for the number of

SixTRAK I/O modules being powered. See figure 3-3.

com port on your PC (DB9 male) and either Port A or B (RJ45 female). Refer to the Sixnet

Electronic catalog for more information on connecting to other equipment.

RS485

Port C

This port is found on all units. It provides a RS485 (2-wire, half duplex only) connection to

Sixnet’s RemoteTRAK I/O modules or other equipment. Four terminals (for signal gnd, 485+,

485-, & termination) are provided. Generally, you connect + to + and – to – between units.

However, since there is no standard for RS485 terminal designations you may need to connect

+ to – and – to + in some cases. No damage will result if you connect incorrectly. It is highly

recommended that you tie the signal ground to an appropriate ground (if available) between all

RS485 units. Make sure to use a good quality communication cable with three conductors

(twisted is preferred) plus a shield. To prevent ground loops, the shield should be connected to

chassis ground on only one end of any cable run.

Note: If you have existing wiring that has only two conductors and a shield, you can

use the shield to connect the signal grounds between stations. This is not optimal

(especially for long cable runs) but should work in most situations.

RS485 Termination: All these units have RS485 termination components (150 ohm resistor

and a 0.1 F capacitor connected in series) already inside. To terminate your RS485 network

just tie the “T” terminal to the RS485 – terminal. Make sure to use the same type and size

conductor as used already used for your RS485 – connection. It is recommended that both end

stations of your RS485 network be terminated. Avoid terminating more than two stations.

Refer to the RemoteTRAK I/O User Manual on how to terminate a RemoteTRAK I/O Module.

For 3

party devices, please refer to their user manual for termination instructions.

Bias Resistors: On a RS485 2-wire network, a pair of bias resistors (1K ohm typically)

acting upon the transmit/receive wires may be required. If bias resistors are not present, the

receive inputs on some RS485 devices may react to noise on the floating wires. The bias

resistors will force the transmit/receive wires to a known (non-floating) state when none of the

RS485 devices are transmitting data. Some RS485 devices have bias resistors built-in, and are

enabled through DIP-switch or jumper settings. Make sure there is only one pair of bias

resistors acting upon the network.

Note: If your RS485 network is made up exclusively of Sixnet devices then these bias

resistors are not necessary.

RS232

Port D

This port is found only on the VersaTRAK IPm. Five screw terminals (for TD, RD, RTS, CTS,

and GND) are provided to make your connections. Note: The 5

terminal is signal ground and

is shared by the adjacent RS485 Port C. Refer to figure 4-2 for the exact connections.

Ethernet Port 1

(Primary)

This port is found on all units. It is a 10/100BaseTx auto-detecting and auto-crossover Ethernet

port. This means it will auto-detect the speed, and work with either a straight-thru or cross-

wired Ethernet cable. A standard shielded RJ45 connector is provided. See the figures below

for the pin-outs. This port has a fixed unique MAC address. The IP address can be set with the

Sixnet I/O Tool Kit software. Refer to the on-line help for details.

Ethernet Port 2 with

Built-in Switch

This port is found on only the SixTRAK IPm. It is internally tied to an industrial Ethernet

switch (equivalent to Sixnet’s ET-GT-5ES-1). This provides four switched ports (standard

shielded RJ45 connectors) to connect to peripheral equipment such as Sixnet’s EtherTRAK

Ethernet I/O modules. All are 10/100BaseTx auto-detecting and auto-crossover Ethernet ports.

This means they will auto-detect the speed, and work with either a straight-thru or cross-wired

Ethernet cable. This port has a fixed unique MAC address. The IP address can be set with the

Sixnet I/O Tool Kit software. Refer to the on-line help for details.

Note: The primary Ethernet port is not internally tied to the internal Ethernet switch or the

second Ethernet port. The first and second Ethernet ports act independently from each other.

Refer to the Sixnet Electronic Help system for more details and usage tips.
