NMIDK
Multiplexer 56/8
Used in conjunction with the
RS card modules to increase the
number of digital inputs available.
The multiplexer is not suitable for
time-critical applications or counting
functions.
NMIDK
Technical data
Electrical protection
The inputs are electrically separated
inside the terminal module from the
power supply and the signal output.
Important:
Note that the inputs gained by using
the multiplexer are stored as digital
calculated values in the DZ register,
and not in the normal input table of
the RS card module memory map.

Brief description
The multiplexer is used in conjunction with the RS card modules and
provides for a maximum of 56 digital data points in place of eight universal
inputs and outputs.
A special SAPIM structure must be downloaded to the RS module for the
multiplexer application. The disk containing this structure must be ordered
separately.
The multiplexer is connected to the RS module using the ribbon cable
supplied (see page 3). The same cable is used for the AC 24 V power supply
to the RS module.
The sampling rate for inter-RS communication varies according to the
SAPIM structure, up to a maximum of six seconds. (NKIC terminal modules
should not, therefore be used with the NMIDK).

Connections
The connections to the peripheral devices are made via the terminal module carriers and the terminal modules. The terminal module carriers (up to
a maximum of seven) are connected to the multiplexer by ribbon cable,
and can each accommodate up to eight plug-in terminal modules.
For NKIDP/8 terminal modules (see K21-02.55), the NTOM module carrier
should be used. Each NTOM can accommodate a maximum of four plug-in
modules, but no more than seven per NMIDK multiplexer. The NTOM module carriers are connected directly to the NMIDK, again by ribbon cable
(see page 4).
The multiplexer and the terminal modules are supplied directly with
DC 15 V from the RS card module. It is therefore important to ensure that
the maximum output current of the RS module (500 mA) is not exceeded.
(Calculate the total intrinsic consumption of the RS module, terminal
modules, multiplexer, sink currents etc.).
Construction
The multiplexer consists of the NHGB card housing (see K21-02.18) and the
plug-in printed circuit board. The card housing provides the necessary
mechanical support for the PCB.
Front plate
The printed circuit board forms a single unit with the front plate, which
incorporates the connection sockets and indicators as shown below:

NMIDK
The yellow LED indicates normal operation. It flashes at the same rate at
which the multiplexer is scanned.
The ribbon cable connectors of the NTIM terminal module carriers or
NKIDP/8 terminal modules are plugged into connection sockets 1 ... 7.
Each connector incorporates eight signal inputs.
The multiplexer is connected (again by ribbon cable) to the RS card module
via the lower connection socket. This connection provides the NMIDK with
the requisite DC 15 V power supply and also carries the address inputs and
eight digital outputs.
All connections can be mechanically secured.

Caution :
Do not touch the PCB.
Electronic components can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Handling the PCB without observing electrostatic precautions will invalidate
the warranty.
Mounting
For control panel installation the multiplexer can be mounted as follows:
Screw the housing directly to the control-panel base
Mount on two DIN/EN rails
Mount on a standard 19" fixed or swivel rack
See K21-10 for detailed installation instructions.
Connection cable
The supply cable for the RS card module is connected directly to an AC 24 V
10%, max. 1.3 A source.
