Overview

Together with the TPM 478 interface module, the TBX 478 inter- face module connects the I/O modules of the TELEPERM M pro- cess control system to the AS 488/TM system.

The following interfaces are present on the TBX 478 module:

Interface to TPM 478 module for implementation of the two TELEPERM M I/O buses A and B

Two interfaces connected via cables to the rear of the migra- tion rack for connection of the I/Os in the basic cabinet

(I/O bus A) and extension cabinet (I/O bus B), with use of the I/O slots of the MIG II migration rack

Interface for "+5 V bus" for supply of the TELEPERM M exten- sion units (cabinet connections)

Interface to backplane bus for supply of "+5 V bus" from the power supply module of the automation system.

The TBX 478 module need not be parameterized. It is provided with data from the TPM 478 module.

The configuration parameters for the I/O area are defined by the PROGRAF AS+/NT configuring tool and the SYST.WART mainte- nance block and subsequently saved permanently on the mem- ory card by archiving. The new or modified parameters are acti- vated during the next restart.

The TPM 478 interface module is not only required for connec- tion of the TELEPERM M I/Os to the AS 488/TM, but also for con- nection of the AS 488/TM and the CS-L2 bridge to the CS 275 system bus. However, only one TPM 478 module is required for both functions (see also "Connection to CS 275").
