Point to point connection of modules to power supply
A point to point connection allows IP67 modules to be connected together from a PLC.
The following figure shows the structure of this type of connection.
The cable which allows the IP67 modules to be linked up is a TSX EF ACC 20 cable.
This cable has a compound-filled M23 connection system and ensures that the IP67 protection rating of the connection is maintained. It enables the modules to be supplied remotely and allows connection to the Fipio bus over distances of between 0.2 m and 25 m.
Illustration
The following figure shows a TSX EF ACC 20 cable.
The various elements of the TSX EF ACC 20 cable are described in the following table.

Description
1
Male IP 67 compound-filled connector with M23 type ring, 6 contacts for the Fipio connection to the previous module (or to the upstream branch box).
2
Double compound-filled connector with:
a female IP67 connector, with M23 type ring, 6 contacts for connection to the module.
3
a female IP67 connector, with M23 type thread, 6 contacts for outgoing cable of the same type intended for connection to the next module (or to the downstream branch box).
4
A main cable, a 150 Ω shielded twisted pair and a 1.5 mm2 24 VDC power supply pair, length 0.2, 1, 3, 7, 12 or 25 m (45 mm bending radius, Ø 9.5 mm).
Inserting a new power supply for IP67 modules and sensors
The power to the IP67 modules and sensors is supplied by the single cable linking the modules together (TSX EF ACC 2•••). For distance and consumption reasons, it may be necessary to power a group of IP67 modules with a second power supply.
In this case, a TSX EF ACC 99 branch box can be used in the power supply insertion configuration, and the cabling diagram used shall be as follows:

The following diagram shows the TSX EF ACC 99 branch box.
The various elements of the TSX EF ACC 99 branch box are described in the following table.

Description
1
An M23 type male screw connector for connection to the Fipio bus (input and output).
2
A 7/8" type male connector for the connection of a 24 V power supply to remote modules, equipped with a sealing plug.
3
An M23 type female connector for the connection of the Fipio bus (output) equipped with a sealing plug.
4
An access plug to the SUB-D 9 contact female connector for the connection to an operator terminal.
Configuration used
The configuration used for the TSX EF ACC 99 branch box shall be as follows:
NOTE: When in use during power supply insertion, the W1 switch must be set to NO (no branch) and the W2 switch set to "EXT" (external power supply). The product is delivered in this configuration..
Moreover, even if the input link of the bus carries a power supply, it is the external power supply that provides the power for the Fipio output as the two power supply systems are separate.
