Advantys STB
Bus Extension
Cables
Advantys STB bus extension cables are specially designed cables in the IEEE 1394
style. They are used to carry the island bus to extension segments of STB I/O and
to preferred modules.
Advantys STB bus extension cables are available in five lengths:
Each cable has IEEE 1394-style connectors on each end. The cable will transmit the
following signals:
island bus communications between the extension I/O and the NIM
the island bus address line
the return signal
The cable does not transmit the 5 VDC logic signal to the next segment or preferred
device.
An Advantys STB bus extension cable may be run:
from an EOS module at the end of one segment to a BOS module at the
beginning of an extension segment
from an EOS module at the end of one segment to a preferred device
from one preferred device to another preferred device
from a preferred device to a BOS module at the beginning of an extension
segment
Note: Advantys STB bus extension cables are not used to extend the island bus to
standard CANopen devices.
