RANEXP Master Port Expander,
RANBROAD Expander
The
RANEXP
is a Master Port Expander that is used in place of a
RANCPU
Control
System Master Card when the total capacitance of the
RANGER
system's control cable
run exceeds the
RANCPU
's limit (+60,000 pF). Each
RANEXP
accommodates 11 runs of
cable with a maximum of 60,000 pF. It requires 12
VDC
at 200 mA and is mounted in a
single rack space (1.75"). The
RANEXP
will not be manufactured after 1996; its
replacement is the functionally equivalent
RANBROAD
(see the following section).
The
RANEXP
(or
RANBROAD
) is typically connected directly to the
RANPCSW
computer for
programming purposes by the
VW
2302
RS
232 cable (supplied with the
RANPCSW
).
Parts Required
12 Four-pin Phoenix connector (supplied with the
RANEXP
)
1 Two-pin Phoenix connector (supplied with the

equivalent)
1 18-gage power wires (black and red)

Estimating the Number of
RANEXP
or
RANBROAD
Ports
In order for the
RANGER
system to operate correctly with your
RANEXP
or
RANBROAD
, it is imperative that you not exceed the distances specified for the
cable that you are using (as detailed in the following table).
1.
Locate the type of cable you are using in Table 4.

RANEXP
or
RANBROAD
