Installing IB2 Bus Devices

5.1

About IB2 Devices

The system guarantees performance of up to 46 devices per IB2 bus.
Practically, the actual number of devices you can use depends on:
The control panel model. For details on the capabilities of each control panel
l
model, see Overview and Panel Model Comparison on page 13.
The maximum current you can draw from the auxiliary outputs on the
l
control panel. However, you can expand the capability using MPI Remote
Power Supplies. For details on the maximum current draws on the auxiliary
outputs, see Specifications on page 160.
The system will automatically provide a module number (address) for each
device upon registration in MAXPRO Cloud.
For an overview of compatible IB2 devices, see Parts List on page 183.

Note
The control panel polls the IB2 bus and will report issues (for
example, a missing module) within 10 seconds. The restore event is
raised within 5 seconds.
Upon a short-circuit on the IB2 bus power, the system will generate
an 'AUX rail' event.
Upon a short on the data bus, the system will generate a 'missing
module' event.
