General Information about Connecting the Remote Bus Cable
Creation of a
cable plan
A complete cable plan should be created for the INTERBUS network, from which the
cable paths and the protective measures (EMC) on the cables are clearly visible .
The plan should identify the incoming and outgoing cable (incoming remote bus,
outgoing remote bus) of each module.
Connection of
the remote bus
cable
Modules within the INTERBUS network are connected to both of their plugs. One
cable is connected to the cable for the incoming remote bus and one the other is
connected to the cable for the outgoing remote bus.
Modules at the end of the network are only connected to one plug, that for the
incoming remote bus.
Types of
connections
The cables of the INTERBUS network can be planned in two different types:
as copper wires
in fiber optic technology
