Use As A S88 Interface - tams elektronik ZEUS s88-BiDiB-Link Manual

ZEUS | s88-BiDiB-Link
Mounting the terminating jumpers
When the interface is installed at one end of the BiDiBus-line (i.e. with only one branching RJ
45 cable), you have to mount the terminating jumpers JP1 and JP2. When subsequently
connecting one ore more additional devices to a BiDiBus-line you have to dismount the
terminating jumpers from the interface.
Please note: When not mounting terminating jumpers with the interface at one end of a
bus line, interferences in data transfer due to distortion of the electrical signals possibly
occur. With a device with mounted terminating jumpers but not installed at one end of bus
line data transfer possibly collapses.
Faulty mounted or missing terminating jumpers cannot cause damages at the interface.

4.2. Use as a s88 interface

Connecting the s88 bus lines
You can connect a maximum of 512 earth contacts to each of the three s88 connections, or
worded differently:

32 x 16-fold feedback modules or

64 x 8- fold feedback modules.
When connecting s88 feedback modules not providing a RJ-45 connection according to S88-N
but only a 6-pole plug connector, you need an additional adapter S88-A. These are available
in different versions for various mounting situations.
Settings
In order to transfer feedback data from the interface to the PC in HSI-88 mode, you have to
insert a short circuit jumper on JP3. As long as the connection is open, data are transferred
according to the BiDiB protocol.
Please note: When using ZEUS simultaneously as a s88 and a BiDiB interface, you have to
choose the BiDiB protocol for the data transfer (to keep the connection JP3 open).
