SLIM Options

The ACM/Flex16 has four SLIM sockets to accept Connect Tech's RS-232 and/or RS-485/422 and/or 20mA Current Loop Serial Line Interface Modules (SLIM). If you order RS-232 modules please refer to Appendix C: RS-232 Option for more technical information. If you order RS-485/422 modules please refer to Appendix D: RS-485/422 Option for more technical information. If you order 20mA Current Loop modules please refer to Appendix E: 20mA Current Loop Option for more technical information.

LED interface indicators (ACM/Flex16)

You can install RS-232 and/or RS-485/422 and/or 20mA Current Loop Serial Line Interface Modules in your ACM/Flex 16. The ACM/Flex16 has LED indicators on its front panel to show you the electrical interface in use for a specific group of four ports. When the LED is red the RS-485/422 interface is in use; when it is green the RS-232 interface is in use; and when it is amber the 20mA Current Loop interface is in use. Please refer to Figure 10 for the location of these LED interface indicators.
