The binary rate of the bus is 1 Mbits/s, with a length that can reach 15 Km with optical or electric repeaters.

The Fipio bus is linked to the Hirschmann optical transmitters, which is used to create medium hot-standby architectures.

This type of communication is available using built-in links to the Premium PLCs.

Processors with a built-in Fipio link capable of managing 128 connection points (limited to 64 for TSX P57 154) on the bus (maximum addresses 0 to 127).

The bus manager is connected to address 0, with address 63 reserved for the programming and diagnostics terminal.

These processors feature a RAM that enables them to save the configuration of the devices linked to the bus.
