English S88-4
With the feedback module S88-4 you can assign an address directly.
This minimizes the effort when adding a new module between existing
modules. Addressing the feedback modules S88-4 directly is also the
condition for installing branching bus lines and radial layouts.
It is possible to combine standard modules and S88-4 modules in one
bus system. You have got to be aware that standard feedback modules
can be used in linear data lines connected directly to the control unit or
the interface only and not in branching data lines.
Standard s88-N
The S88-4 has RJ-45 connections according to the standard s88-N,
which regulates the assignment of commercial Ethernet patch-cables
for use in s88 feedback systems. Unlike the 6-conductor connecting
cables frequently used, the patch-cables used in computer networks are
screened against outside electric signals. Thus using patch-cables
reduces the liability to interference considerably.
For the connection of digital devices or customary feedback modules
with a 6-pole connector you need a special adapter (optional extra).
