1. Introduction

• Function: 2m backplane expansion cable for T9100 multi‑chassis systems

• Compatibility: AADvance T9100 6U chassis (all revisions), T9300/T9310 controller family

• Length: 2 meters (standard; other lengths available as T9310‑xx)

• Connectors: High‑density D‑subminiature, locked, industrial‑grade

• Shielding: Fully shielded for EMI/RFI protection

• Safety: Maintains SIL 3 fault‑tolerant architecture across chassis

2. Product Overview

• Backplane communication signals (for T9110, T9300, T94xx modules)

• Redundant power distribution (24 VDC)

• Fault‑tolerant synchronization signals

• Module identification and slot mapping data

• 2 m length: Standard for most cabinet‑to‑cabinet or side‑by‑side chassis layouts

• Locked connectors: Prevent accidental disconnection in high‑vibration environments

• Fully shielded: Meets EMC requirements for industrial SIS

• Hot‑swap safe: Connect/disconnect only when chassis power is OFF

• SIL 3 compliant: Preserves system safety integrity level across expanded backplane

• Robust construction: Industrial‑grade jacket, oil/chemical resistant

• Multi‑chassis AADvance systems (2–4 × T9100)

• Cabinet‑to‑cabinet SIS expansion

• Large I/O counts requiring multiple chassis

• Distributed safety systems in process, oil/gas, and power

4. Installation & Connection

1. Power OFF: Ensure all connected T9100 chassis are powered down.

2. Connector Alignment: Align D‑sub connectors with backplane expansion ports (rear of T9100 chassis).

3. Insert & Lock: Push connectors firmly, then tighten locking screws (hand‑tight only).

4. Cable Routing: Route cable with minimum 8× diameter bend radius; avoid sharp edges and high‑vibration areas.

5. Power ON: Apply power to chassis; verify backplane communication via AADvance software.

6. Hot‑Swap Note: Do not connect/disconnect while powered—risk of backplane damage.
