45C97 | Reliance Electric Autorail Interface Module

Description 

The 45C97 unit serves as an AutoRail Interface manufactured by Reliance Electric for integration with the AutoMate series of programmable logic controllers. This interface module facilitates communication between the AutoMate 20 Remotely Mounted I/O module and a processor unit, allowing for communication over distances of up to 1000 feet with minimal field wiring. The 45C97 AutoRail Interface operates in conjunction with the 45C35 AutoBus Interface Head, which replaces the local Head and can support up to four digital I/O rails. Connection between these devices is established using two twisted-pair wires with a maximum length of 1000 feet. Additionally, the 45C97 AutoRail Interface is linked to one of the four communication ports on the AutoMate 20 processor unit via a 42-inch I/O rail interconnect cable.

Information About 45C97

The 45C97 unit serves as an AutoRail Interface designed by Reliance Electric for integration with the AutoMate series of programmable logic controllers. The 45C97 AutoRail Interface facilitates communication between the AutoMate 20 Remotely Mounted I/O module and a processor unit, spanning distances of up to 1000 feet while requiring minimal field wiring. This communication setup is achieved by pairing the 45C97 AutoRail Interface with the 45C35 AutoBus Interface Head. 

In this configuration, the 45C35 AutoBus Interface Head acts as a substitute for a local Head and is capable of supporting a maximum of four digital I/O rails. Connection between the 45C97 AutoRail Interface and the 45C35 AutoBus Interface Head is established using two twisted-pair wires, each with a maximum length of 1000 feet. Subsequently, the 45C97 AutoRail Interface is linked to one of the four communication ports on the AutoMate 20 processor unit through the utilization of a 42-inch I/O rail interconnect cable. 

Equipped with three indicator lights, the 45C97 AutoRail Interface provides users with essential status feedback. These indicator lights include "PWR," denoting power status, "COMM," indicating communication status, and "FAULT," signaling any operational faults or errors.
