Using the I/O-Bus Port

The 171 CBU 78090, 171 CBU 98090 and 171 CBU 98091 processors act as the I/O bus master for up to 32 I/O slave modules. The I/O modules on the bus can have addresses from 1 to 32. The I/O module connected to the processor I/O bus port has bus address number 1.

I/O-Bus Port Features

The I/O-Bus port includes the following features:

Feature

Description

Protocol

Interbus

Baud rate

500 Kbits/s

Media

24 AWG, stranded (7x32), 3 twisted pairs, insulated cable with tinned copper (TC) conductors

Connector type

DB9 female

Data integrity test

CRC-16

Addressing

Physical location

Mode of operation

Master–continuous shift register

Topology

Ring–extensible 1 level using a 170 BNO 6X1 XX branch interface module

NOTE: On the transition from RUN to STOP states, the processors apply the fallback setting to I/O modules – on the local or the I/O-Bus – that support this feature.

I/O-Bus Port Diagnostics

Use the I/O LED on the processor to help diagnose the state of the processor.
