Island Bus Extensions
Bus Extensions An island bus can be extended beyond the primary segment by using a bus
extension module as the last device in the segment. The bus can be extended to
another segment of Advantys STB Island I/O and/or to one or more preferred
modules. You can also extend the island bus from a segment to one or more
standard CANopen devices using an STB XBE 2100 CANopen extension module
as the last device in the segment.
The island bus can be extended in several ways:
with additional extension segments of Advantys STB I/O
with one or more preferred modules
with one or more standard CANopen devices
with a combination of the Advantys STB, preferred modules and/or standard
CANopen devices
The End-of-
segment Module
When you extend the island bus from one segment to another or from a segment to
a preferred module, the last module in that segment is an STB XBE 1000 EOS
module. The EOS module has an IEEE 1394-style output connector, from which you
can run an island bus extension cable.
