The permissible ambient temperature may be considered either individually for each
device at the respective place of installation, or specified uniformly for the bus segment
as a whole. In the latter case the lowest value of the ambient temperature applies.
Required temperature class
T6
In the next step is the verification of whether the installed bus components fulfil the
conditions and limit values set in the FISCO model. This is simplified by ensuring the
bus components correspond to the FISCO model. A detailed consideration of the
safety-relevant nominal values is then not necessary.
Do bus components correspond to the
FISCO model?
