Based on the information available, the Triconex 9141-010 is a specialized accessory, not a standard termination panel. It is a fanned-out cable, which serves as an alternative to a traditional termination panel for certain Triconex I/O modules.
What It Is and What It Does
The 9141-010 is a specific type of cable used to connect a Triconex I/O module directly to a third-party or custom terminal block. A standard termination panel is a pre-built board with screw terminals, but a fanned-out cable like the 9141-010 provides more flexibility.
- Fanned-Out Design: One end of the cable has a standard connector that plugs into a Triconex module. The other end contains individual, separated wires that are stripped and tinned. This “fanned-out” design allows for direct and organized wiring to your own terminal strips, which is ideal for custom cabinet layouts or when integrating with existing hardware.
- Purpose: This type of cable is typically used when a standard Triconex termination panel doesn’t fit the physical constraints of an existing enclosure, or when the user wants to use a specific type of terminal block from another manufacturer. It simplifies the wiring process and reduces the need for an additional component in the signal path.
Key Features and Compatibility
While specific details about the 9141-010 itself are not widely documented, its function can be inferred from other fanned-out cables in the Triconex 91xx series.
- Leads: The cable has multiple individual, labeled leads. The last two digits of the Triconex cable model number (e.g., in the 9101-050 cable, the “050” indicates a 50-foot length) typically specify the cable length in feet. The “010” in the 9141-010 indicates a 10-foot cable.
- Pin-out: It is designed for a specific module type, but without a dedicated datasheet for the 9141-010, the exact compatible module is not specified. However, fanned-out cables are primarily used with digital input and digital output modules, as they are not certified for use with analog signals in safety-critical applications.
- Benefits: The main benefit of using this cable is its flexibility and cost-effectiveness. It provides a direct wiring solution that can reduce hardware costs and simplify installation in customized setups.
