C the wire used to connect the icm8s power supply should be at least 22-gage wire. if a longer cable run is used, a heavier gage wire should be used. the routing of the cable should be kept away from large contactors, inverters, and other devices which may generate significant electrical noise. C a power supply with a class 2 or selv rating is to be used. a class 2 or selv power supply provides isolation to accessible circuits from hazardous voltage levels generated by a mains power supply due to single faults. selv is an acronym for safety extra-low voltage. safety extra- low voltage circuits shall exhibit voltages safe to touch both under normal operating conditions and after a single fault, such as a breakdown of a layer of basic insulation or after the failure of a single component has occurred. 2 1 24vdc 10% comms port rs232/pg port rts (pin 6) cts (pin 1) usb/pg rs232 comm tx comm rx power connector n/c 3 2 common 1 ethernet rs485 rs232/pg usb/pg sts ethernet (nic) orange green/ led led amber port rs485 nc nc (pin 1) nc (pin 6) a (+) comm b (-) icm8 port pin outs
3 wiring power connection common +24 vdc 3 12 --- 23 1 +24 n/c comm emc installation guidelines although red lion controls products are designed with a high degree of immunity to electromagnetic interference (emi), proper installation and wiring methods must be followed to ensure compatibility in each application. the type of the electrical noise, source or coupling method into a unit may be different for various installations. cable length, routing, and shield termination are very important and can mean the difference between a successful or troublesome installation. listed are some emi guidelines for a successful installation in an industrial environment. 1. a unit should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is properly connected to protective earth. 2. use shielded cables for all signal and control inputs. the shield connection should be made as short as possible. the connection point for the shield depends somewhat upon the application. listed below are the recommended methods of connecting the shield, in order of their effectiveness. a. connect the shield to earth ground (protective earth) at one end where the unit is mounted. b. connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, usually when the noise source frequency is over 1 mhz. 3. never run signal or control cables in the same conduit or raceway with ac power lines, conductors, feeding motors, solenoids, scr controls, and heaters, etc. the cables should be run through metal conduit that is properly grounded. this is especially useful in applications where cable runs are long and portable two-way radios are used in close proximity or if the installation is near a commercial radio transmitter. also, signal or control cables within an enclosure should be routed as far away as possible from contactors, control relays, transformers, and other noisy components. 4. long cable runs are more susceptible to emi pickup than short cable runs. 5. in extremely high emi environments, the use of external emi suppression devices such as ferrite suppression cores for signal and control cables is effective. the following emi suppression devices (or equivalent) are recommended: fair-rite part number 0443167251 (rlc part number fcor0000) line filters for input power cables: schaffner # fn2010-1/07 (red lion controls # lfil0000) 6. to protect relay contacts that control inductive loads and to minimize radiated and conducted noise (emi), some type of contact protection network is normally installed across the load, the contacts or both. the most effective location is across the load. a. using a snubber, which is a resistor-capacitor (rc) network or metal oxide varistor (mov) across an ac inductive load is very effective at reducing emi and increasing relay contact life. b. if a dc inductive load (such as a dc relay coil) is controlled by a transistor switch, care must be taken not to exceed the breakdown voltage of the transistor when the load is switched. one of the most effective ways is to place a diode across the inductive load. most rlc products with solid state outputs have internal zener diode protection. however external diode protection at the load is always a good design practice to limit emi. although the use of a snubber or varistor could be used. rlc part numbers: snubber: snub0000 varistor: ils11500 or ils23000 7. care should be taken when connecting input and output devices to the instrument. when a separate input and output common is provided, they should not be mixed. therefore a sensor common should not be connected to an output common. this would cause emi on the sensitive input common, which could affect the instruments operation. visit rlcs web site at http://www.redlion.net/support/installationconsiderations. html for more information on emi guidelines, safety and ce issues as they relate to red lion controls products. programming ports rs232 rt s comm tx comm cts rx cblprog0 or cblusb0 0 rs232/pg usb/pg troubleshooting 1. this module is designed to operate with red lion panel meters only. please make sure a red lion product is connected to either one of the two serial ports for the gateway to be active. 2. the ethernet port is equipped with data leds. if they are blinking, the converter is active and the data is available at the port. please verify the receiving equipment is properly programmed. 3. if for any reason you have trouble operating, connecting, or simply have questions concerning your new icm8, contact red lions technical support. for contact information, refer to the back page of this bulletin for phone and fax numbers. email: techsupport@redlion.net web site: http://www.redlion.net

5 configuring the icm8 the icm8 is configured using crimson software. crimson is available as a free download from red lions website, or it can be ordered on cd. updates to crimson for new features and drivers are posted on the website as they become available. crimson software can configure the icm8 through the rs232/pg port or usb/pg port. the usb/pg port is connected using a standard usb cable with a type b connector. the driver needed to use the usb port will be installed with crimson. the rs232/pg port uses a programming cable made by red lion to connect to the db9 com port of your computer. if making your own cable, refer to the icm8 port pin outs for wiring information. ethernet communications ethernet communications can be established at either 10 base-t or 100 base-tx. the crimson manual contains additional information on ethernet communications. rs232 ports the icm8 has one rs232 port. the port can be used for programming or communications. rs485 port the icm8 has one rs485 port. note: all red lion devices connect a to a and b to b. * rs485 common connection is optional. communicating with the icm8 comm receiving device rxd txd 5 dte 2 3 db9 rx comm tx comm cts rt s icm8 rs232/pg por t rs232 red lion panel meter (w/rlc serial protocol) receiving device b (-) a (+) comm.* red lion panel meter (w/rlc serial protocol) icm8 comms por t nc nc a (+) nc comm b (-) rs485 leds sts C status led the green status led provides information regarding the state of the icm8. this includes indication of the various stages of the start-up routine (power-up), and any errors that may occur. startup routing user communication ports - tx/rx leds ethernet leds indication rail flashing stea icm8 is oerating roerl icm8 is currentl running the oot loaer an/or eing flash ugrae crison led indication green transitting red receiing led indication yellow soli link estalishe yellow flashing netork actiit green 1 base-t counications amber 1 base-t counications
