FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Technical Specifications:

Q: What is the primary purpose of the wye cable design in the IC693CBL305?

A: The wye cable enables the IC693CMM302 module to split a single 25-pin port into two separate communication ports.

Wiring & Installation:

Q: What communications protocols are supported by the two 25-pin ports created by the CBL305 cable?

A: The cable allows one output port to be configured as RS-232 and the other as RS-485/RS-422.

Troubleshooting & Compatibility:

Q: Is the IC693CBL305 cable compatible with the IC693CMM301 coprocessor module?

A: No, this wye cable is specifically designed for use with the IC693CMM302 and IC693CMM311 modules only.

Replacement & Upgrades:

Q: What is the maximum data transmission distance typically supported by the 1-foot cable's protocols?

A: RS-232 supports short distances up to 50 feet, while RS-485 can support up to 4000 feet with longer appropriate cables.
