Relay Interface Board Installation Guide
Introduction
The Relay Interface Board (RIB) replaces the standard I/O terminal board. It connects a Watlow Anafaze controller to a third-party I/O board with 8, 16, 24, or 32
relays.
This document lists system requirements, specifications and explains how to install
and wire the RIB.
1
Relay Interface Board Installation Guide
System Requirements
Choose which of the controller’s digital inputs and outputs are needed. Refer to
Table 3 and 4
for a 32-module I/O board. An 8-module I/O board contains the first eight modules
of the 24-module board, a 16-module board contains the first 16 modules of the 24module board, etc.
8, 16 and 24-module I/O boards are connected to J2 and J3 on the RIB.
•
32-module boards connect to J4 only.
•
The system safe and global alarm outputs are available via J2 and TB1 only. To connect to all of the digital inputs and outputs, use two 24-module boards.
A 32-module board connected to J4 provides outputs for 32 heat-only loops or for 16
heat/cool loops.
MLS300 and CLS200 controllers have a 50-pin, SCSI-II, female connector for digital I/O. You will have to make or obtain from Watlow Anafaze a cable that connects
from SCSI to ribbon cable in order to use the RIB with these controllers.

Hardware Requirements
Relay Interface Board Installation Guide
Choose I/O modules designed to operate with +5 Vdc power. Watlow Anafaze
systems are designed to operate at this voltage.
Choose I/O boards which have 50-pin headers with long latch levers. Short latch
levers will not Watlow Anafaze cables.
Calculate the maximum current requirement of the desired I/O boards. If they require
more current than the controller can supply, use an external power supply.

Installation
These instructions assume the controller has previously been installed.
Tools Needed
Mounting
4
Four, #6 screws
Screwdriver
1.Choose a mounting location large enough to accommodate the RIB, the I/O
board or boards, the ribbon cable or cables and wires that connect them.
2.Place the RIB in a suitable location to be mounted and use a pencil to trace
around the plastic standoffs or use the dimension diagram in Figure 1 to position the mounting holes.
3.Drill and tap #6-32 holes in the marked locations.
4.Place the Relay Interface Board in the mounting location and insert the #6
screws in the plastic standoffs.
5.Tighten the screws.

Wiring
These instructions explain how to connect the RIB to the Watlow Anafaze Controller
and to the I/O board.
Ribbon Cable
I/O Board Terminals
6
Connect the ribbon cable to the controller. Plug the other end of the ribbon cable into
the header labeled J1 on the Relay Interface Board. The red stripe on the ribbon cable
should line up with Pin 1 on the board.
Plug one end of the I/O board ribbon cable into the I/O board and the other end into
the RIB. See Tables 3, 4 and 5 for connection information. Repeat for each I/O board
installation.
Use a felt-tip pen to write the cable’s name and number in the white box next to the
header.
Refer to Tables 3, 4 and 5 for the controller signals that correspond to each I/O
module.

Power Connections
Choose one of the following options for installing and configuring the jumper on
JU1 appropriately for your I/O board.
•
Option 1: 8, 16, and 24-module I/O boards only:
get power from the controller to the I/O boards via the ribbon cable.
•
Option 2: 8, 16 and 24-module I/O boards only:
disconnect the controller power supply. Jumper the I/O boards to get power from
the ribbon cable. Use an external power supply to provide power to TB1. This
arrangement powers the I/O boards through their ribbon cables.
•
Option 3: For any I/O board:
an external power supply. Then connect power from TB1 to the terminals on the
I/O board.
•
Option 4: For any I/O board:
ply. Wire an external power supply directly to the terminals on the I/O board.

Additional Terminals
Jumpers
The Relay Interface Board contains a 5-pin terminal block (TB1) with these
functions:

2Power common
3Global alarm output

5Pulse input
These terminals are directly connected to the controller. They allow connection to
separate sensors, SSRs, PLCs and safety controls.
The RIB has three sets of jumpers: JU1, JU2 and JU3. JU2 and JU3 only affect the
I/O board connect to J2.
The jumpers let you choose between options listed in Table 2.

Applying Power
After wiring the I/O board modules and selecting the appropriate jumper positions,
power may be connected to the system.
If power is present at the RIB, the green LED labeled RLY PWR will light.
Testing Your System
Test the system after connecting power. For specific information on testing
controllers, refer to your controller manual.
To test a PID control output, set the appropriate loop to Manual mode and set the
•
output to 100%. The LED located on or next to the output module will light.
To test digital alarms, outputs and inputs, use the controller’s Manual I/O Test
•
menus.
