Data transmission properties
Transmission
Network topology
technology
Linear bus, bus termination at both ends (121 Ohm), spur lines are possible
Medium
Screened 2x2 core twisted-pair cable, must be screened.
Number of stations
max. 64 nodes
Max. bus length
depends on the Baud rate:
100 m at 500 kBit/s, 250 m at 250 kBit/s, 500 m at 125 kBit/s
Transmission speed
500 kBit/s, 250 kBit/s, 125 kBit/s
Connector
Open Style connector, 5-pin
Operating modes
Bit strobe, polling, cyclic, „Change of State" (COS)
Process data width
96 bits (Standard configuration)
Process data format
Intel
Safety feature
The field bus nodes are equipped with a shutdown monitor so the power source
can interrupt the process if data transmission drops out. If there is no data trans-
mission within 700ms, all inputs and outputs are reset and the power source
goes into „Stop". Once data transmission has been re-established, the following
signals resume the process:
-
-
"Robot ready" signal
"Source error reset" signal
