The installation of the Series 15i control requires a +24VDC cable from the Series 15i power supply to the
LCD unit and a Control ON/OFF pushbutton cable to the control’s power supply. As these cable lengths
are determined by the machine design, they cannot be included in a standard cable kit. Required connectors
are provided to allow the machine tool builder to construct cables to the required length.
Notes :
1. Refer to the appropriate documentation for the +24VDC fusing requirements for your control.
2. Check all wiring and polarities before applying initial power.
3. External devices and machine I/O requiring +24VDC power may require the use of an external
+24VDC power supply.
4. +24E on Power Supply Connector CP6 may be used for external devices. Do not exceed the 2 Amp
rating. (Please refer to the following notes regarding the use of 24E from CP6.)
5. When using CP5 as +24VDC source for the Series 15i LCD Unit and North American Operator Panel,
as illustrated, current draw of the two devices during normal operation will total approximately 1.5
Amps. Assignment of spare outputs from the Operator Panel to OEM devices, or use of the Operator
Panel in special applications requiring the simultaneous illumination of most available pushbuttons,
will increase current draw. Current draw from CP5 up to 2 Amps is permitted. However, when driving
loads larger than 1 Amp from CP5, the load capacity of CP6 should be de-rated so that the combined
24VDC load supported by CP5 and CP6 does not exceed 3 Amps in total.
6. In certain applications, an alternative method would be to supply 24VDC to the LCD Unit exclusively
from connector CP5. CP6 (24E) could then be used for the Operator Panel and external Operator
Panel devices, not to exceed 2 Amps.
7. Many applications will generally require an external +24VDC power supply to be used for Machine
I/O. It may often be more convenient to supply 24VDC to the Operator Panel and associated Operator
Panel devices from the external 24VDC supply.
