Extend Connection
Bus Extension. This connection is used to interface racks together when using the
optional LYNX control system. This is a simple (and inexpensive) way to extend the
reach of the host RCT 5021 or R CT 5031 controller into several more racks fitted with
RCT 5010 bus expanders. It uses a proprietary LYNX control interface and this
connection has an input port as well as an output port for simple control configuration of
all connected racks.
The connection is a standard RJ45 female connector.
Standard networks cables (we recommend the use of
shielded cables) can be used to connect the racks. On
each rack frame an input and an output port for the
extend bus is provided.

can be used for two primary functions:
1. When configured as a RS 232 serial port this can be connected directly to a PC
running the LYNX Desktop Controller application.
2. When configured for RS 422/485 operation this port is used to connect a rack frame
with an RCT 5031 master controller connected to other racks fitted with RCT 5021
Rack controllers (up to 15 additional racks) using the IN and OUT connections
provided.
Note. Please refer to the R CT 5021 Reference Manual for details on how to re-configure
the port and more detail on the use of this control interface.

Rack Configuration
Assembly
If starting with an empty R FR 5012 / 5014 rack frame please follow the following steps
for correct installation of the Series 5000 Card Modules
Rack Layout Considerations
If you have a variety of module types it’s a good idea to plan the order in which you install
the various CardModules. While a module can occupy any of the 10 available slots
provided, consideration can be given to the position of the modules in the rack to facilitate
external wiring. Below you can see an example layout.
Rear Connection Plates
The series 5000 CardModule is supplied with a connection plate and mounting screws.
This is fitted to the rear of the rack frame behind the module.
Installing Rear Connection Plates
Position the connection plate on the rear mounting rails and secure with the screws
provided. Do not fully tighten the screws initially. Test fit the module into the rack and
make sure the edge connector on the module is aligned correctly with the connection
plate. When alignment is correct, tighten the two screws. Remove and insert the module
a few times to check installation. If the module binds or sticks, or installation is in anyway
difficult then loosen the connection plate screws and check alignment. Repeat this
process for each module.
Redundant Power Supply
The basic RFR 5012 7 5014 is supplied with the primary power supply installed. The
redundant supply (option) is installed next to the primary supply.
Remote Controller
Depending on your system design you may have one of the LYNX controller options
available (RCT 5010, RCT 5021 or RCT 5031). Install the controller into the first module
slot next to the power supply(s). This is an extra slot reserved only for the controller
cards. Please refer to documentation supplied with the controller for the configuration
and use of the LYNX controller options.
Page 16 of 24
Hot Swapping
Power Supplies
The Series 5000 CardModules and Power Supplies are fully hot swappable.
Power Supply Failure
A failure in the Primary power supply will automatically trigger the use of the redundant
supply (if fitted) and will trigger the following alarm conditions / indications (requires
controller option).
• Reported fault on the monitoring system
• Alarm GPO trigger on the alarm connector (see Alarm Connections section)
• Front Panel LED (normally green) will go out (See Alarm / Status indication section)
Once identified, the defectiv e supply can be removed and replaced with power connected
with no interruption to the operation of the CardModules, if the redundant supply is
installed.
CardModules
If a CardModule fails the error will be reported over the monitoring system and via the
front side alarm LED. Alarm function is module dependant so please refer to the
CardModule manual for failure conditions and indications. The defective CardModule ca n
be removed and replaced with an identical replacement without removing power from the
frame.
NOTE: If the “HOT SYNC” function is active in the installed controller, then the settings of
the previous card will be automatically written back into the new modules flash ram once
installed (if the same type). For further details on the “HOT SYNC” function please refer
to the GUI sections of the R CT 5021 or R CT 5031 manuals
