T8153 ROCKWELL ICS Triplex

The Trusted Communication Interface Adapter T8153 is designed to be connected directly to the rear of a Trusted Communication Interface Module in a Trusted Controller Chassis T8100. The Assembly provides a communications connection interface to remote systems. Connection between the Assembly and the Trusted Communication Interface module is via a 78+2-way Inverse DIN41612 M-type connector (SK1).

The T8153 Assembly comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) on which the communications ports and socket SK1 (connector to the Trusted Communication Interface) are mounted. The Assembly is contained within a metal enclosure and is designed to be clipped onto the appropriate connector at the rear of the Controller Chassis. A release button is provided to enable the Assembly to be disconnected. The communications ports available at the Assembly are RS232 (one each of full and partial), RS485 (both direct and multi-drop) and Ethernet (10BaseT and 100BaseT).

Installation:

1.Communications Interface

When connecting to the chassis connect the socket with the rear of the chassis and slide up until it mates and clicks into place. The Communications Interface needs to be removed.

2:Gateway Module

The Communication Interface Adapter is not recommended for use with the T8170 Gateway Module. The T8173 Adapter is recommended for this purpose. It provides better transport of the Ethernet wiring and keyboard, video and mouse ports.
