Honeywell 2MLR-DBST Expansion Driver, TP

Description

The Honeywell 2MLR-DBST is an Expansion Driver (TP) module designed to extend the I/O capacity of 2MLRCPUH/T and 2MLRCPUH/F series controller systems. This interface module facilitates reliable communication between the main CPU and distributed extension bases using TP/CAT5 electrical media. The 2MLR-DBST is specifically configured for installation into the CPU0 connector position on the extension base, allowing for a robust link over distances of up to 100 meters.

Features

• Interface Compatibility: Specifically designed for 2MLRCPUH/T and 2MLRCPUH/F controller series
• Communication Media: Utilizes standard TP/CAT5 electrical cabling
• Distance Capability: Supports a maximum extension distance of 100 meters between bases
• Station Addressing: Supports a range of 1 to 31 stations
• Maintenance Interface: Includes a dedicated USB port for loader connection

Applications

• Distributed I/O expansion for industrial automation systems
• Scaling controller capabilities in wide-area plant floors
• PLC system communication management between local and remote racks
• Infrastructure requiring reliable electrical media communication

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the 2MLR-DBST is installed in the CPU0 connector slot on the extension base.
• When using CAT5 cabling, verify that the total cable length between extension bases does not exceed the 100-meter limit to maintain signal integrity.
• Ensure proper station addressing (1 through 31) to avoid communication errors or system faults.
• Follow standard industrial grounding practices when installing CAT5 media to mitigate noise and surge risks.
• Use the integrated USB port exclusively for authorized loader connections as specified in the controller maintenance manual.
