1.2 Features of the MIQ/JB
General characteristics The MIQ/JB branching module is used for the distributed mounting of
the IQ S
ENSOR N ET . It can be mounted at any position in a cable sec-
tion.
The branching module can be used, for example, for:

the branching of the IQ S ENSOR N ET , e.g. in order to integrate sev-
eral measurement locations spread out in the system
 the multiple connection of sensors via the SACIQ sensor connection
cable, e.g. at the edge of the basin
 setting up an operating site, i.e. the branching module provides a
possibility for the docking of terminal components.
The MIQ/JB simplifies the star-shaped configuration of the
IQ S
ENSOR N ET for the optimum power supply of all components by
power supply modules (see chapter I NSTALLATION of the
IQ S ENSOR N ET system operating manual). If necessary, the number of
available connections at a single location can be increased by stacked
mounting of further MIQ modules.
With the standard MIQ module housing, the MIQ/JB has the same
characteristics as all MIQ modules regarding stability, leakproofness
and weather resistance. It also provides the same wide variety of instal-
lation options (stacked mounting, canopy mounting, tophat rail mount-
ing, etc.).
As many branching modules as required can be installed in a single
IQ S
ENSOR N ET system.
Terminal strip The MIQ/JB has four equal SENSORNET connections on the terminal
strip inside the housing that can be used for all the purposes described
above.
