Making Fieldbus and Power Connections
Overview The fieldbus and power connections to your island must be made with the power off.
The cable and connector types for the fieldbus connection on your NIM differ
depending on which fieldbus protocol you are using. Refer to the manual that came
with your particular NIM for detailed information on cabling and connectors.
Fieldbus
Connection
The fieldbus connection is made between your fieldbus master and the NIM on your
physically completed Advantys island. To make the connection simply push your
fieldbus connector into its matching receptacle and lock in place.
There are seven NIM types representing the seven fieldbus protocols that can be
used with Advantys STB. Here are illustrations of four different NIM types. Notice the
difference in their fieldbus receptacles.
