The IDNet Card

Overview

The 4100U IDNet card receives 24V power (+24V Card Supply bus) and coms (i.e.

 

communication with the CPU) via the PDI. There are several versions, configured by

 

links soldered on the pcb. The 4100-3101 used in Australia, communicates with up to

 

250 devices. An IDNet card may be fitted to a 4100 (non-U) bay in an upgrade panel by

 

use of a bracket and interface pcb plus 4100 style power and coms wiring harness.

 

The part number for the IDNet card, plus Interface bracket is KT0452.
