1.7. 7BMain PCB
The ACM500 communication module’s main printed circuit board (PCB) provides expansion slots
for the IND560x serial/Ethernet and PLC options. The main board also contains power connections
from the power supply and data connections from the fiber optic or intrinsically safe serial interface
board. Some diagnostic LEDs are also provided.

terminal to the ACM500. If a du a l-channel fiber optic converter (from a previous 8141, 8525,
Puma, or ID3sTx installation ) is to be connected to an IND560x, the fibe r o p tic in terfac e must be
used.
1.8.1. Fiber Optic Interface
The fiber optic interface provides one or two channels of communication designed to use a hard
clad silica or a plastic optic a l fib e r cable. High speed transmitters and receivers are used to
increase the throughput of data. When combined with the ACM500 communication module and its
options, this permits remote (safe area) operation of COM2 and COM3 serial ports, Ethernet and
PLC interfaces, at distances up to 300 meters (1000 ft.). When used with the standard dualchannel fiber optic converter, this interface provides one or two additional bi-directional serial ports
(COM2 and COM3) at the same distance. If the plastic optical fiber cab le is used, the distance is
reduced to 40 meters (130 ft.).
1.8.2. Intrinsically Safe Current Loop Interface
The intrinsically safe current loop interface provides one or two channels of communication
designed to use standard multi-strand copper wire. Low power, high speed circuitry is used to
extend the distance of each circuit up to 300 meters (1000 ft.) when using two twisted pair 0.5

1.9. 9BOptions
The following options are available for use in the ACM500.
1.9.1. 11BEthernet/COM2/COM3 Ports
The Ethernet/COM2/COM3 port option provides two additional serial ports and a TCP/IP Ethernet
port. The Ethernet TCP/IP port can be used to transmit a demand template or continuous data to
other devices. It can also be used for remote configuration and updating the firmware using the
METTLER TOLEDO InSite
transfer of tare and target tables and complete setup files is also supported.
program, and for direct access to data via a shared dat a server. FTP
Introduction
The COM2 port provides RS-232 communication at rates from 300 to 115.2k baud and the COM3
port supports the same baud rates and provides an RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 connection.
When using COM2 or COM3 serial ports in the ACM500, it is recommended to use a network
transmission baud rate of at least 9,600 Baud. Using COM2 or COM3 serial ports with network
transmission baud rates of 4,800 Baud or less may result in continuous data lagging behind real
time conditions, or a delayed response to on-demand data requests (e.g., SICS requests).
1.9.2. 12BPLC Interfaces
The IND560x PLC interface options available through the ACM500 include Analog Output, A-B RIO,
DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP and PROFIBUS DP.
1.9.2.1. Analog Output
Analog Output refers to the representation of an internal system variable using a proportional
electrical signal. Analog Output can be used to transmit a measured value, such as the gross or net
weight or a rate. Another use for the Analog Output is as a control signal for some external device,
such as a control valve, where the amount of valve opening is proportional to the analog signal
commanding its operation. Such outputs are usually used to control the flow rate of material into or
out of a vessel.
Both 0-10 volt DC and 4-20 mA signals are provided. Additional details of this interface can be
found in the PLC Interface Manual on the ACM500 Documentation CD.
1.9.2.2. Allen-Bradley (A-B) RIO
The A-B RIO option enables data exchange by bi-directional communications using the Discrete
Data Transfer or Block Transfer mode. The terminal provides a communication exchange with the
PLC approximately 20 tim es p er se c ond u tiliz in g th e Allen-Bradley Discrete Data Transfer protocol.
This communication is a high-sp eed, real-time message interface between the terminal and the PLC
for process control. Division, integer, and floating point values are supported.
The A-B RIO interface also supports Block Transfer mode for transmission of larger amounts of
data. Additional details of this interface can be found in the PLC Interface Manual on the ACM500
Documentation CD.

1.9.2.3. DeviceNet
DeviceNet is an RS-485 based network utilizing CAN chip technology. The network can be
configured to run up to 500Kbits per second depending on cabling and distances. Messages are
limited to 8 un-fragmented bytes. The IND560x implementation of DeviceNet does not support
fragmented messages - all messages are 8 bytes or shorter. The network is capable of supporting
up to 64 nodes including the master.
1.9.2.4. EtherNet/IP
EtherNet/IP, short for "EtherNet Industrial Protocol," is an open industrial networking standard that
takes advantage of commercial, off-the-shelf EtherNet communication chips and physical media.
This networking standard supports both implicit messaging (real-time I/O messaging) and explicit
messaging (message exchange). The protocol is supported by ControlNet International (CI), the
Industrial Ethernet Association (IEA) and the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA).
1.9.2.5. Modbus TCP
Modbus/TCP is used to establish master-slave/client-server communication between intelligent
devices. It is an open standard network protocol, widely used in the industrial manufacturing
environment. The ModbusTCP protocol takes the Modbus instruction set and wraps TCP/IP around
it.
1.9.2.6. PROFIBUS DP
The IND560x Terminal communicates to a PROFIBUS-DP master according to DIN 19 245. The
PROFIBUS option consists of software that resides in the IND56 0x Terminal and a printed circ u it
board that installs in the ACM500 communication module to implement the data exchange.

Installation
The front panel of the ACM500 is locked in place by four spring clips attached to the enclosure
body. To gain access for internal wiring and setting switches, separate the front panel from the
enclosure as follows:
1. Insert the tip of a flat-blade screwdriver into one of the two slots (toward the bottom of the slot)
located on the bottom of the front panel assembly (refer to Figure 3-2) and gently push in
toward the enclosure. A “pop” sound indicates when the cover is released.
TO PREVENT IGNITION OF HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERES, DISCONNECT THE IND560x FROM
POWER SOURCE BEFORE OPENING ACM500 ENCLOSURE. KEEP COVER TIGHTLY CLOSED
WHILE THE CIRCUIT IS ENERGIZED. DO NOT OPEN WHEN AN EXPLOSIVE DUST ATMOSPHERE
IS PRESENT.
If the clip does not release easily, apply a small amount of force/pressure to the front cover
of the ACM500 and repeat Step 1.

3.2. AC Power Con s iderations
No internal wiring is required for AC power, since the ACM500 is supplied with an integra l p o wer
cord. When installing the ACM500, make sure the unit is near a properly grounded socket-outlet
and that the outlet is easily acc essible.
Make sure that the AC power source is within the operating range of the ACM500, 100 to 240 VAC.
3.3. Mounting the Enclosure
The ACM500 enclosure is designed to mount to a flat, vertical surface such as an instrument panel
or industrial enclosure or wall. Observe location and environment considerations as described in
Chapter 1 of this manual,
To mount the enclosure, follow these steps:
1. Mark the position of the mounting holes on the vertical surface using the dimensions shown in
Figure 3-3, or by holding the enclosure up to the surface and marking through the bracket
holes on the sides of the enclosure. Measurements are provided in mm and inches.
Introduction.
2. The hardware to mount the enclosure to the vertical surface is not included with the terminal – it
must be supplied locally. Ensure that the mounting hardware is capable of supporting the
weight of the terminal, wh ich is a pproximately 6 kg (13 lb). Using the lo c a lly-supplied
hardware, mount the ACM500 to the vertical surface.

3.4. Installing Cables and Glands
This section provides information for installing cables and connections to the ACM500
communication module, including:
• Ferrites
• Cable Glands
• Interface Board Wiring Connections
Installation
3.4.1. Ferrites
• Cable Preparation for Intrinsically Safe Current Loop Interface
• Wiring Connections for Options
WARNING
ONLY THE COMPONENTS SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL CAN BE USED IN THIS DEVICE. ALL
EQUIPMENT MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DETAILED IN THIS MANUAL. INCORRECT OR SUBSTITUTE COMPONENTS AND/OR DEVIATION
FROM THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN IMPAIR THE INSTRINSIC SAFETY OF THE TERMINAL AND
COULD RESULT IN BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
In order to meet certain electrica l n o is e emission limits and to protect the AC M5 00 from ex te rn a l
influences, it is nece ssa ry to ins ta ll a ferrite core on the connection cab le between the interface
board and the main board of the ACM500.
Ferrites are not required on the incoming intrinsically safe current loop or fibe r o p tic interfaces.
Do not attempt to use ferrites on the fiber op tic c a b le for th e in te rface board. Attempting to
do so will damage the fiber optic cable
Additional ferrites are not required for the Ethernet TCP/IP, COM2/COM3 and PLC
connections running from the ACM500.
To install ferrites, simply pass the cable through the center of the core and then take one wrap
around the outside of the core and pass it through again. Either the complete cable or the individual
wires can be wrapped through the ferrite. This should be done on the inside of the enclosure as
close to the outside wall as pos s ib le . R e fer to Figure 3-4 for examples of acceptable methods of
installation.

3.4.2. Cable Glands
The ACM500 stainless steel enclosure is designed to withstand wet and dusty environments. In
order to maintain the sealing integrity of the enclosure, care must be taken when installing cables
that enter the enclosure. To ensure a watertight and dust tight seal:
• Pass any cables through an appropriately sized cable grip before connecting the wires inside
the ACM500.
The intrinsically safe current loop interface cables and the fiber optic interface cable always
pass through the two cable glands “A” and “B” to the far left (Figure 3-5). Note that only
ATEX certified cable glands should be used on COM4 and COM5. Only the certified inserts
supplied with the ATEX glands can be used for securing cables. Do not use rubber sleeve
grommets with the ATEX certified glands.
A: COM4
B: COM5

•
When making a connection with fiber optic interface cable, a special split grommet (Figure
3-6) will be provided. Each of the two fiber cables fits into one of the two holes in the grommet.
Figure 3-6: Installing Fiber Optic Cables in Cable Grip
•
For all other ACM500 connections (Ethernet, serial, PLC), depending upon the diameter of the
cable used for a specific connection, a rubber sleeve grommet may be needed to properly seal

around the cable. Use one of the 2 different sized rubber sleeved grommets supplied with the
option kit to properly seal around the cable (Table 3-1).
Table 3-1: Grommet Cable Sizes
Grommet Cable Diameter
None 7–10 mm (0.28–0.39 in.)
Larger size hole 5– 6 mm (0.20–0.24 in.)
Smaller size hole 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in.)
Installation
Note that the rubber sleeve grommets provided in accessory kits cannot be used with ATEX
certified cable glan d s req u ire d fo r C OM4 and CO M5. O nly th e special split grommet
provided with the fiber optic interface is permitted.
• All cables that include shields (except the current loop interface cabling) should have the shield
terminated at the gland as shown in Figure 3-7. Spread the shield wires out and make sure
enough shield wire is present to make good contact with the metal part of the gland.
Note that the shield of the cable fr om th e IND5 6 0x to the ACM500 must not be terminated
at the ACM500 end. The shield must be left open at the ACM500 end of the cable.
•
After making the wiring connections as described in the next section, ensure the nut on the
cable gland is tightened properly to seal around the cable.

3.5. Wiring Connections
The following sections describe how to make wiring connections to the ACM500 communication
module. Follow all instr u c tions carefully.
3.5.1. Interface Board Wiring Connections
Depending on the model ordered, each ACM500 will have either the fiber optic serial interface board
or the intrinsically safe current loop interface board installed. After the ACM500 enclosure is open,
the interface board can be removed and connections made as described in the next sections.
Each interface board provides two circuits for communication to the IND560x. Depending upon the
options used, it may not be necessary to provide connections to both circuits. Refer to Table 3-2 to
determine if both the COM4 and th e COM5 c irc u its must be connected.

3.5.1.1.Fiber Optic Interface Connections
When using fiber optic cable to connect the IND560x to the ACM500 communications
module, care must be taken not to bend the cable sharply or it could be permanently
damaged
The ACM500 does not include fiber optic cables to connect to the IND560x terminal. Fiber optic
cable is available separately from METTLER TOLEDO with pre-terminated connectors in various
lengths.
Two types of cable are offered for use with the ACM500:
• Plastic core
• Hard clad silica (glass) core
The plastic core fiber optic cable can be used for short cable runs up to 40m (125 ft.). For longer
cable runs, up to 300m (1000 ft.), the hard clad silica (glass) core cable must be used. Various
cable lengths for each type of cable are available. Please refer to your price pages and appropriate
catalogs for available lengths and part numbers.

If necessary, two glass core fiber optic cables can be coupled using a special optic coupler, but the
coupler signal loss is equivalent to 150 m (500 ft.) of cable. When one coupler is used the
useable distance of the glass core cable is reduced to 150 m (500 ft.)
It is possible to cut the plas tic c o re fib er o p tic ca b le in the fie ld a n d ins ta ll th e connectors using the
available terminatio n k it. The glass core fiber optic cable re q u ires special tools to install the
connectors and field termination of this cable is not recommended.

Two fiber optic cables are required for bidirectional communication to each port on the ACM500
(COM4 and COM5). If both ports are required, then a total of four cables will be required.
The fiber optic cable connectors and the sockets on the interface board are color-co ded. Each cable
has one blue and one gray end, which should be connected to the same color on the interface
board, as shown in Figure 3-8.
The following instructions assume that the fiber optic cables are already connected to the fiber optic
interface board in the IND560x and the other ends of the cables are available at the ACM500.
Depending upon the country of installation, special protection such as conduit seals may be
required. Refer to the control drawing, the approval certificates and local regulations to determine
what is required.
1. Make certain that power is removed from the ACM500 communication module and the
IND560x terminal.
2. Feed the ends of the fiber optic cables through the split bushing of the correct cable gland
(identified in (Figure 3-5) until the cable reach es the fiber optic interface bo ar d (a pproximately
90 mm/3.5 in.). The COM4 cables should enter through the upper cable gland “A”, the COM5
cables through cable gland “B” just below.
Be sure the fiber optic cable is not bent to less than a 13 mm (1/2 inch) radius. Any sharp
kinks in the fiber optic cable will damage it, requiring that the cable be replaced. Coil any
excess cable neatly in large loops close to the ACM500 and secure it so it does not get
damaged.
3. When connecting fiber optic cables to COM4, determine which two fiber optic cables come from
the COM4 port of the IND560x. Plu g the fiber optic cable from the IND560x COM4 transmitter
(U1) into the ACM500 COM4 receiver (U3) and the cable from the IND560x CO M4 receiver
(U3) into the ACM500 COM4 tran sm itte r (U1). Refer to Figure 3-9 to help identify the
transmitters and receivers on the ACM500 fiber optic interface board. Figure 3-10 shows
correct wiring between the IND560x and the ACM500.
