IND560x Options

Some of the options and accessories available for use with the IND560x are described in the
following sections. Note that some options require the use of the ACM500 communication module
in the safe area.
1.12.1.

Hardware Options

The following internal hardware options are available for the IND560x terminal:
•
•
•
•
1.12.1.1. Dual Channel Fiber Optic Interface
A dual channel fiber optic interface can be used to connect an IND560x terminal to the ACM500
located in the safe area. This interface also provides connectivity to the older, dual-channel fiber
optic converter (from an 8141, 8525, Puma, or ID3sTx installation).
•
•
•
1.12.1.2. Dual Channel IS Current Loop Interface
Instead of the fiber optic cable interface, an intrinsically safe, dual channel current loop (CL)
interface can be used to connect an IND560x terminal to the ACM500 located in the safe area. This
interface can also provide connectivity to the ACM200 converter in the safe area. Alternatively, the
IND560x can be directly connected to an IND226x terminal acting as a remote display inside the
hazardous area. In this scenario, the IND226x must be equipped with the Interface-Remote option.

IND560x-PAB (Power Adapter Board) to make the IND560x terminal compatible with the
external NiMH battery pack
The fiber optic interface provides one or two channels of communication designed to use a
hard clad silica fiber optic cable. High speed transmitters and receivers are used to increase the
throughput of data. When combined with the ACM500 communication module and its options,
this permits remote (safe area) operation of COM2 and COM3 serial ports, Ethernet and PLC
interfaces at distances up to 300 meters (1000 ft.) from the IND560x terminal.
When used with the standard dual-channel fiber optic converter, this interface provides one or
two additional bi-directional serial ports (COM4 and COM5) at the same distance.
The fiber optic interface can be used to communicate directly between two IND560x terminals
in a Master-Remote configuration
NOTE: Plastic core fiber optic cable can be used on short cable runs of 40 m (130 ft) or less.
The current loop interface provides one or two channels of communication designed to use a
copper wire cable. High speed transmitters and receivers are used to increase the throughput of
data. When combined with the ACM500 communication module and its options, this permits
remote (safe area) operation of COM2 and COM3 serial ports, Ethernet and PLC interfaces at
distances up to 300 meters (1000 ft.) from the IND560x terminal.
