Guidelines for I/OBus Networks

Overview

This section gives guidelines for creating an I/OBus network using a Momentum
CPU as bus master.

Length

The maximum distance between the Momentum CPU master and the farthest slave
is 13 km (8 mi).

Distance
Between Nodes

The maximum distance between nodes is 400 m (1300 ft.).

Number of
Devices

A network may consist of as many as 256 nodes, including one Momentum CPU
bus master and up to 255 slave I/O devices.

Acceptable Slave
Devices

An I/OBus slave device can be:

l

A Momentum I/O base with a 170 INT 110 00 Interbus Communication Adapter
mounted on it

l

A Modicon Terminal Block I/O module enabled for Interbus communications

l

A standard Interbus module designed by a third party manufacturer

Unacceptable
Slave Devices

The I/OBus network does not support Interbus-compatible devices that require the
Interbus PCP protocol.

Note: Processors that support IEC are limited to a maximum number of 1408

used I/O points, regardless of the number of modules.
