Section 2.3.1 Connecting to a SHIM
3BUR 001 085R0001 REV A 2-19
In addition to the terminal blocks on the SHIM’s front panel, there is a red LED and a fuse. The
LED flashes to signal that the SHIM passed its self test and is running. The fuse is a 0.5 Amp
Excitation fuse which is shared by all smart devices connected to the SHIM to protect their
Excitation connections. There are also two other red diagnostic LEDs visible from the top of the
SHIM’s housing. If either of these LEDs is flashing, an error has been detected. See Section 5.2,
Hardware Indicators for information about the errors the diagnostic LEDs indicate.
Signal designations for the contact positions of the SHIM terminal blocks and their use are
provided in Table 2-11.
2.3.1.1 SHIM Power
SHIMs are powered by a small AC/DC power supply. The physical power and ground
connections from the power supply are made at the screw terminations XTB1-1 and XTB1-2 of
the SHIM as indicated in Table 2-11.
2.3.1.2 SHIM Serial Port Connections
As indicated in Table 2-11, terminal block XTB1 also has contacts for 2 serial ports which
independently communicate ModbusB protocol using either RS-232 or RS-485. Connections
between the MVI serial ports and the serial port contacts on a SHIM are made using either the
3BUC900040R0001 MVI to SHIM Interface Cable or 3BUC900041R0001 MVI to RS-232/485
Converter Interface Cable.
The 3BUC900040R0001 MVI to SHIM Interface Cable connects an MVI RS-232 port to a
SHIM RS-232 serial port. Connection to the serial port is made with a female connector, and
