This special serial cable allows RS485 communications between a Pfeiffer HiPace turbo pump TC drive unit and a Pfeiffer OmniControl or DCU controller. This interface cable has 4-pin, M12, round screw-type connectors on both ends. This cable is 10 meters long (10 ft.) and meets or exceeds OEM specs (OEM PN: PM 061 285 -T).
On TC 110 drive units, which have a 15-pin D-Sub (X3) connector, a power and communications adapter cable (part number P103335 or P1011168) is used to split out the X3 connector into a pump power cable and a short RS485 communication cable (terminated with an M12 connector). This 10 meter long RS485 cable attaches to and extends that short cable. The other end of this cable connects to the M12 round connector on an OmniControl or a DCU controller.
On TC 400 and TC 1200 drive units, which have a separate round M12 communications connector, this cable directly connects the drive unit to an OmniControl controller.
This Pfeiffer RS485 Communication Connector connects:
- TC 110 drive unit on HiPace 80 and 300H turbo pumps to an OmniControl 200 or DCU 110 controller (requires adapter cable P103335 or P1011168).
- TC 400 drive unit on HiPace 300, 350, 450, 700 and 800, to an OmniControl 300 or 400 controller (direct connction).
- TC 1200 drive unit on a HiPace 1200 turbo pump, to an OmniControl 001 controller (direct connction).
