Now that the power plant is complete, the next step in installing your Click modules is add-

ing a T-bus to your DIN rail. A T-bus is made up of small modules called T-bus connectors

that snap onto your DIN rail to provide power and communication connections to your

Click devices. You can connect together as many T-bus connectors as you need to provide

power and communication to all the Click devices on the rail with only a single wiring con-

nection.

Wavetronix has two varieties of T-bus connectors: green connectors, which conduct both

power and communication, and gray connectors, which only conduct power. Gray T-bus

connectors are used when you don’t want certain devices to communicate with each other.

In such a case, a gray connector placed between the two devices would prevent communica-

tion while still providing power.

Note

Wavetronix removes the communication lines from the gray T-bus connectors it pro-
vides. Gray T-bus connectors obtained from suppliers other than Wavetronix, how-
ever, will still have communication capabilities.
