2.1 Panel Assembly
Most Red Lion components snap onto DIN rail strips fastened to a subpanel. Figure 2-1 shows a sample panel with DIN rail strips and wire duct attached. Recommended DIN rail spacing is 8 inches. This spacing allows room for wire duct to be installed without obstructing field wiring installation.
The Red Lion components are typically installed against one another, but space may be left between modules to accommodate other DIN rail mounted components such as terminal blocks and fuse holders. End clamps are recommended to restrict side-to-side movement. Figure 2-2 shows the physical dimensions of the VT-IPM2M.
Red Lion components can be installed in any orientation and order on your panel.

Installation and Maintenance Manual
RM-PS-024-01F (Redundant Power)
The RM-PS-024-01F allows you to connect auxiliary 24 VDC power (from another RM-PS-024-01F or other source) to terminals 17 and 18. When auxiliary power is connected, the RM-PS-024-01F will source most of the power under normal operating conditions. If the primary power fails then the auxiliary power will immediately take over.
3.2 Current Requirements
To calculate the current requirements, add the wattage required for the VT-IPM2M and other modules in use. Then divide the total wattage by the DC power source voltage. Then add any current needed for user instrumentation loops.
DC Power Wiring: All Red Lion units and user instrumentation loops may be powered from a single DC source. Refer to Figure 3-3 DC power connections to the VT-IPM2M. The user DC power source must be in the range of 10 to 30 volts.
3.3 On-Board I/O Overview
The VT-IPM2M comes with integrated discrete and analog I/O on board. Wiring for the available on-board I/O should be made based on the wiring diagram shown in Figure 3-3. A hardware summary for each of the available I/O is described below. Further details on the features available when using the on-board I/O can be found in the electronic help system in the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit.
Discrete Inputs:
There are twelve discrete inputs in all models of the VT-IPM2M. These inputs may be wired for sourcing or sinking by selecting the proper DI return jumper position in the base. An input count feature uses analog input registers to accumulate the positive transitions of each input. Positive DC voltage must be applied to an input to indicate an ON condition. All channels are referenced to a common return or supply, which is connected to the negative side (ground) or positive side (DC+) of the DC power source. One wire from each sourcing field input should be bussed together and connected to terminal 17 (DC +). One wire from each sinking field input should be bussed together and connected to terminal 18 (DC GND). Refer to the wiring diagram, Figure 3-3. Set the DI return jumper inside the wiring base to match the wiring configuration of the inputs (sinking or sourcing).
Discrete Outputs:
Depending on your model of the VT-IPM2M, there are either four or eight discrete outputs integrated into the unit. The discrete output channels each provide up to 1 Amp DC to power motor contactors, valves, and other loads. A single terminal is provided for each output channel. All outputs are powered from the DC power terminal. All channels are referenced to a common return, which is connected to the negative side (ground) of the DC power source.
Analog Inputs:
There are either six or eight 4-20mA analog inputs on your VT-IPM2M. These inputs provide 16 bits of resolution for precision analog measurements. A single input terminal is provided for each measurement channel. Care must be taken to externally provide a suitable instrumentation ground for these single ended input circuits. Precision 100 ohm current shunts beneath the hinged access door in the wiring base pass current and maintain loop integrity, even if the plug-in logic module is removed. Each analog channel has built in current protection circuitry, such that each channel open circuits before any circuit damage will occur.

4.1 Communication Ports
The VT-IPM2M-XXX has two available port combinations, depending on the model number. See the chart below.
RS232 Port B
An RJ45 female connector is provided for this port. The pin-outs follow the EIA/TIA-561standard (See Figure 4-3). A pre­wired DB9F to RJ45F adapter is included with these units. Use this adapter along with a RJ45 male to RJ45 male straight­thru wired patch cable (not included) to make a connection between a com port on your PC (DB9 male) and Port B (RJ45 female). Refer to the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit help for more wiring information.
When connecting a modem, insert the colored wires of the RJ45 to DB9 male adapter into the appropriate sockets of the
DB9 male connector according to the table below. Then plug the adapter’s DB9 male connector directly onto the DB9
RS232 port of a VT-MODEM-xxx. Connect a straight-through Ethernet cable between the Red Lion RJ45 port and the RJ45 to DB9 male (modem) adapter.
The RJ45 serial port connector bodies on Red Lion products are metallic and are connected to the Chassis GND terminal. Therefore, shielded cables may be used to provide further protection. To prevent ground loops, the cable shield should be tied to the metal connector body at one end of the cable only.

RS485 Port A
There is one RS485 port available on the unit (See Figure 4-3 for location of this port). The RS485 port establishes a (2-
wire, half duplex only) connection to Red Lion’s RemoteTRAK I/O modules or other equipment. Four terminals (for signal
GND, 485+, 485-, & termination) are provided for each available RS485 interface. Generally, you connect + to + and to
between units. However, since there is no standard for RS485 terminal designations you may need to connect + to –
and – to + in some cases. No damage will result if you connect incorrectly. It is highly recommended that you tie the
signal ground to an appropriate ground (if available) between all RS485 units. Make sure to use a good quality
communication cable with three conductors (twisted is preferred) plus a shield. To prevent ground loops, the shield
should be connected to chassis ground on only one end of any cable run.
Note: If you have existing wiring that has only two conductors and a shield, you can use the shield to connect the signal grounds
between stations. This is not optimal (especially for long cable runs) but should work in most situations.
RS485 Termination: The VersaTRAK IPm2m has RS485 termination components (150 ohm resistor and a 0.01 F
capacitor connected in series) already inside for each RS485 port. To terminate your RS485 network just tie the “T”
terminal to the RS485 ‘–‘ terminal. Make sure to use the same type and size conductor as used already used for your
RS485 ‘–‘ connection. It is recommended that both end stations of your RS485 network be terminated. Avoid
terminating more than two stations. Refer to the RemoteTRAK I/O User Manual on how to terminate a RemoteTRAK I/O
Module. For 3rd party devices, please refer to their user manual for termination instructions.
Bias Resistors: On a RS485 2-wire network, a pair of bias resistors (1K ohm typically) acting upon the transmit/receive
wires may be required. If bias resistors are not present, the receive inputs on some RS485 devices may react to noise on
the floating wires. The bias resistors will force the transmit/receive wires to a known (non-floating) state when none of

the RS485 devices are transmitting data. Some RS485 devices have bias resistors built-in, and are enabled through DIP-
switch or jumper settings. Make sure there is only one pair of bias resistors acting upon the network.
Note: If your RS485 network is made up exclusively of Red Lion devices then these bias resistors are not necessary.
Ethernet Port
This port is a 10/100BaseTx auto-detecting and auto-crossover Ethernet port (see Figure 4-2 for RJ45 Pin locations). This
means it will auto-detect the speed, and work with either a straight-thru or cross-wired Ethernet cable. A standard
shielded RJ45 connector is provided. See the figures below for the pin-outs. This port has a fixed unique MAC address.
The IP address can be set with the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit software. Refer to the electronic help for details.

6.1 Local Diagnostics
Local diagnostics can be performed through any available port while the VT-IPM2M is responding to messages from the
other port. Diagnostic software, such as the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit, can be used to display the status of the I/O registers.
Refer to the software’s help system for details.
6.2 Power and Status LED
The “PWR” LED on the VT-IPM2M indicates its operational and power status:
6.3 Controller or RTU Memory
The VT-IPM2M has nonvolatile (battery-free) memory for storing configuration data from the I/O Tool Kit utility.
They also have battery-backed memory for storage of program variables and logged data. The battery is a rechargeable
lithium cell that is kept fresh by the power circuitry in the VT-IPM2M. The memory retention period for an unpowered
VT-IPM2M is at least 6-months at room temperature. The retention time will be shorter at higher temperatures. The life
expectancy of the lithium battery is approximately 10 years or more.
