Connecting the ICIM to Additional Chassis

The Prisma II platform allows the ICIM to be located in one chassis and

control modules located in several other chassis. This communication

"daisy-chain" can be enabled by connecting cables to the ICIM IN and ICIM

OUT connectors located on the connector interface panel of the chassis. This

connection is required if an ICIM in one chassis is to communicate with or

control any module located in a separate chassis.

Note: An ICIM can control a maximum of 140 modules. Depending on your

application, this is typically 6 or 7 chassis to a rack. Do not exceed these

limits.

Every Prisma II standard and Prisma II XD chassis has a DB9 ICIM IN and a

DB9 ICIM OUT connector for the purpose of chassis-to-chassis ICIM

connections. ICIM IN is a female connector and ICIM OUT is a male

connector.

Prisma II Standard Chassis

Prisma II XD Chassis

The cable required for both ICIM IN and ICIM OUT connections is a

shielded 9-wire serial extension cable, DB9 Female to DB9 Male. This cable

can be purchased locally or from the factory. The chassis data sheet lists the
