Introduction
What Is Advantys STB?
Introduction | Advantys STB is an assembly of distributed I/O, power, and other modules that |
| function together as an island node on an open fieldbus network. Advantys STB |
| delivers a highly modular and versatile slice I/O solution for the manufacturing |
| industry, with a migration path to the process industry. |
Island Bus I/O |
|
A basic Advantys STB island can support up to 12 Advantys STB I/O modules. The | |
| only I/O devices that may be used in the basic segment are Advantys STB modules; |
| preferred modules, standard CANopen devices and Advantys STB extension |
| modules are not supported. |
The Basic |
|
STB I/O modules may be interconnected in a group called the basic segment. The | |
Segment | basic NIM is the first module in this segment. The basic segment must contain at |
| least one Advantys STB I/O module and can support as many as 12 addressable |
| Advantys STB modules, drawing a current load of up to 1.2 A. The segment must |
| also contain one or more PDMs, which distribute field power to the I/O modules. The |
| basic segment must be terminated by a 120 Ω termination plate, which ships with |
| the NIM. |
