GFK-1383A Chapter 3 Assembling the Power Mate H 3 - 31
3
The Power Mate H may be connected to an I/O Link network as a master or a slave unit. If you
have a standalone Power Mate H which is not connected to another host device on the network
then your unit is a Master. The following sections show connection of both configurations.
Power Mate H as an I/O Link Master Unit
Connect the I/O Unit Model A as follows:
1. Connect the I/O Link cable (GE Fanuc cable 44C741558-00x or FANUC cable A03B-0807-
K801) connector labeled JD1A to the Power Mate H connector labeled JD1A1 (see Figure 3-
22). The maximum length for this cable is 10 meters. We recommend you label this I/O
Link cable connector JD1A1.
Note
Make sure you plug the cable into the connector labeled I/O Link JD1A1 for
operation as a master. There is also a connector labeled I/O Link JD1A for
connection of slave units.
2. Plug the connector at the other end of the cable, labeled JD1B, to the connector labeled JD1B
on the I/O Unit Model A interface module.
3. If Built-In I/O is used, also connect the Built-In I/O with only the Emergency Stop (*ESP)
and Home Switch (*DEC) connections, as shown in Figure 3-16 through 3-21.
4. The 24Vdc power cable for the I/O Unit Model A unit is not sold by GE Fanuc. However,
you should have received with your unit a Burndy style 3-pin connector that is used to
connect power to the I/O Unit Model A at connector CP32. Pin 1 of this connector is +24V
and pin 2 is the ground (see Figure 3-22).
For more information, refer to the I/O Unit Model A Connection/Maintenance Manual, GFZ-
61813E, and Section I.5 of the Power Mate H Connection Manual, GFZ-62683EN.
