INTERBUS ST standard bus terminal modules
The INTERBUS bus terminal module connects the input/output modules of an ST station with the INTERBUS network.
Depending on the transmission medium used, the bus terminal modules are equipped with different bus connections. For copper conductors, D-SUB and MINI-COMBICON connectors are available. The fiber optic versions are equipped with F-SMA connectors.
The bus terminal modules are available in two different performance classes. A maximum of 4 or 8 input/output modules can be operated on one bus terminal module.
The bus terminal module takes on the following functions within a modular INTERBUS-ST station:
- Refreshing the INTERBUS remote bus signals
- Electrical isolation of the remote bus segments
- Decoupling of the outgoing remote bus or of the connected input/ output modules from the INTERBUS network with a software command
- Supply of the connected input/output modules with an electrically isolated voltage supply from an integrated power supply unit
