Booster B-6 tams elektronik

2.6.3. Wiring

In accordance with the BiDiBus specification, patch cables with RJ 45 connectors (Cat5 cables)
are provided as bus cables for the B-6 booster. These cables are easy and quick to handle and
ensure secure connections to the interface and to other nodes. Connecting and disconnecting
the cables during operation is permitted (hot plug).

2.6.4. Assignment in the BiDiBus system (addressing)

According to the BiDiB specification, the assignment of the booster B-6 in a BiDi bus system is
automatic. As a basis for the automatic assignment, a unique number, the Unique-ID, is
programmed into the B-6 by the manufacturer. When the BiDiB system is switched on, the
interface searches for the existing nodes within its structure, creating a list of available nodes,
their Unique ID and a local address valid for this session.
If a new node is connected to the bus, the list of available nodes is automatically expanded
and the interface sends a corresponding message to the PC.
The Booster B-6 has a so-called "Identify button" according to the BiDiB specification. After
pressing the button, the booster is highlighted in the screen display of the nodes and the RGB
LEDs under the top cover flash.
