Planning a Linear Drop Layout
Overview of
Linear Drop
Layouts
A DTA 200 primary backplane and up to three secondary backplanes may be
mounted in a drop. The four backplanes may be mounted in a linear layout along
one common DIN rail, or they may be stacked in two rows on two DIN rails and
connected via a BXT 201 bus extension cable.
Linear Layouts The leftmost backplane on the DIN rail must be the DTA 200 primary backplane. Up
to three secondary backplanes may be interconnected to the right of the primary
backplane. You may use:
One DTA 202 secondary backplane with the DTA 200
As many as three DTA 201 secondary backplanes together with the DTA 200
One or two DTA 201 secondary backplanes together with one DTA 202
secondary backplane with the DTA 200
If you use a DTA 202 backplane in your drop, it must be the last (rightmost)
backplane in the drop.
