  • Page 19: Power Supply

    Chapter 3 3.3.4 Power supply An imc ARGUSfit system is operated with a DC supply voltage that is supplied via an ARGFT module with a socket ("POWER") compatible with LEMO.EGE.0B.302. This can be an ARGFT-BASE or an ARGFT-FIBER-CONVERTER, for example. Power is supplied to the rest of the system via the internal supply network (power backbone) of the electrical click connections between the modules.

    Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3.5 Fiber Converter The Fiber Converter is a clickable module for the modular imc ARGUSfit system. It allows decentralized distributed system topologies. The module converts the internal high-speed ARGUS system bus, which connects the ARGUS measurement amplifiers and interface modules via the click connector, to a fiber-optic data link in the sense of a media converter.
