| The master identifies read/write data in terms of a node’s relative position in the ring, |
| not by a fixed address. The sequential location of slaves corresponds to the order of |
| input and output data in the master's buffer. |
| The ring structure uses a distributed shift register. In a single bus cycle, data from |
| the master to the slaves (and from the slaves to the master) is transferred. The cycle |
| ends when the loop back word is returned to the master. Each node is a component |
| on the shift register ring on which data is circulated. |
The NIM’s EDS For a particular device to be recognized on your network, a corresponding EDS file must be exported to your master device. This ASCII file contains information about a device’s:
NIM Limitations The STB NIB 1010 INTERBUS basic NIM supports up to 16 words of INTERBUS cyclic data. It does not support the parameter communication protocol (PCP).
