Slice Description

Overview

A slice is an expansion module that has one of the following functions in the TM5 System:

Expansion I/Os or
Power distribution or
Common distribution or
Expansion bus

The following figure shows the three components of a slice:

1 Bus base

2 Electronic module

3 Terminal block

DANGER
	INCOMPATIBLE COMPONENTS CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK OR ARC FLASH Do not associate components of a slice that have different colors. Always confirm the compatibility of slice components and modules before installation using the association table in this manual. Verify that correct terminal blocks (minimally, matching colors and correct number of terminals) are installed on the appropriate electronic modules. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER

INCOMPATIBLE COMPONENTS CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK OR ARC FLASH

Do not associate components of a slice that have different colors.
Always confirm the compatibility of slice components and modules before installation using the association table in this manual.
Verify that correct terminal blocks (minimally, matching colors and correct number of terminals) are installed on the appropriate electronic modules.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

The bus base and the terminal block for the electronic module, must be ordered separately. For the references see respective sections below.

When assembled the three components form an integral unit that resists vibration and electrostatic discharge.

NOTICE
	ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE Never touch the contacts of the electronic module. Always keep the connector in place during normal operation. Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

The compatibility table gives the possible associations between components of a slice.

NOTE: The following descriptions of slice components are color independent.

Bus Base Description

The following figures shows the different parts of the bus base:

1 Locking lever

2 DIN rail locking mechanism

3 DIN rail contact

4 Guides for assembly of the electronic module

5 Rotation axle for terminal block
