VM24 Module Configuration Summary

The VM24 is shipped with the SIM8 boards already installed.

1.Mount the VM24 module (standard DIN rail).

2.Set the jumpers to position 3 (default) for sinking inputs or to position 1 for sourcing inputs. (See page 11).

3.Connect the 50-pin ribbon cable to the I/O connector(s) of the 6000 Series Controller/Indexer (see page 12). Connect the other end of the cable to the J4 connector of the VM24 module. Make sure that power is off to the 6000 Series unit before making these connections because the 50-pin ribbon cable provides +5V to the VM24 from the I/O connector.

4.Connect the output pull-up pin OUT-P of the 6000 Series unit to Vo (J6) of the VM24 module. This ensures the proper sequencing of outputs upon application of power. Make sure the jumper between OUT-P and +5V on the 6000 Series unit is removed to avoid damage to the VM24. (This step is not necessary for the VM24-IN.)

5.Connect the desired power supply to Vo at connector J6. Do not apply power until all connections are made. (This step is not necessary for the VM24-IN.)

6.Connect the desired power supply to Vi at connector J6. Do not apply power until all connections are made. (This step is not necessary for the VM24-OUT.)

7.Make connections to the desired input and/or output signals using the screw terminals. (J5). See Pin-Out Table on page 8.

8.Apply power to the VM24 module. The power-up sequence is not important as long as OUT-P is connected to Vo.
