General Description
The PRCAB cabinet is a metal enclosure equipped with a front plate (door) with removable hinges. The cabinet
can be wall mounted and anchored in place using the holes on the back of the enclosure or can be affixed to
another cabinet by means of two bolts and the holes on the top and bottom sides of the enclosure.
The front of the cabinet provides two apertures for mounting two FPM front-plate modules and the grounding
connections.
It has a compartment for the connection of up to 8 IFM modules via a CAN drive bar equipped with connectors
for IFM internal modules, and a CAN BUS cable for communication with the FPM front-plate modules or affixed
cabinets. The compartment has a bar which serves to hold the modules in place and allows the grounding
connections. There is a placement for two 12V, 24Ah or 17Ah batteries.
The cabinet has hooks for the cable ties and cable entries on the top and bottom sides. Appropriate hole
covers are provided.
