A module’s inputs and outputs are short cir- cuit protected with LD indication of their current state and fault condition. Other LDs provide indication of module, bus and auxiliary power status. The module’s address is set by means of two rotary switches. On power up the unit reads its address from the switches and automatically detects the baud rate of the network and adusts to the correct speed.
TM cordsets are used to connect the I/O devicesto the active modules. These should be selected in the normal way con- sidering the type of devices to be connected, their location and operating environment. The combinations typically used with these active modules are Micro-Change
® male connectors to either Micro-Change, Nano-Change
® or mPm female connectors.
