    ARTEMIS English 3. Operation overview 3.1. Background In the BiDi-Bus the maximum number of participants in one level or sublevel is limited to 32 nodes (e.g. interface, booster, accessory decoder, feedback modules) for technical reasons. In total up to 4 levels are permitted. With special nodes (the bus bridges or so-called "hubs") further sublevels can be added in the top 3...
  • Page 8 English ARTEMIS Note on the numbering of the nodes in the example: According to the BiDiB specification the user does not have to deal with numbers or addresses of the components. The numbers in the figure were dialled in analogy to the addresses that the components receive according to the BiDiB protocol.
