l Variation of Signal Connections The I/O Modules can be connected to field devices by terminal connection or with a terminal block via a KS cable interface adapter. A customer-furnished MIL cable can also be used to connect to the I/O Module. The following explains the terminal blocks as well as the signal wiring that can be paired with the I/O Modules A pressure clamp terminal block is provided for the terminal connection with field devices. To expand terminals via terminal boards, connect a KS cable adapter to an I/O Module. When using a customer-furnished MIL connector cable, can directly connect to an I/O Module. A dedicated terminal block is provided for a dual-redundant configuration.
The FIO (Fieldnetwork I/O) System
is connected to the Field Control Unit (FCU) via an ESB, optical ESB, or ER bus. The Field Control Unit (AFV30/AFV40) is connected to an ESB Bus Node Unit (ANB10) or an Optical ESB Bus Node Unit (ANB11). The Field Control Unit (AFV10) is connected to an ESB Bus Node Unit (ANB10) or an ER Bus Node Unit (ANR10). A node unit consists of a power supply module, a bus interface module, and input/output modules that are installed in a base unit. The power supply module, bus interface module, and input/output modules can be configured redundantly. The Unit for Optical ESB Bus Repeater Module (ANT10U) can be used to connect the optical ESB bus in a chain or star configuration. The following shows a system configuration example
ESB bus/Optical ESB bus
When using Field Control Unit (AFV30/AFV40) Application An ESB bus or an optical ESB bus is an input/output communication bus that connects the ESB bus node unit or optical ESB bus node unit to the intelligent part of the FCS. Communication Specifications Connectable Units: ESB Bus Node Unit (ANB10), Optical ESB Bus Node Unit (ANB11), and Unit for Optical ESB Bus Repeater Module (ANT10U) Number of Connectable Units: The number of ESB bus node units and optical ESB bus node units that can be connected to the ESB bus varies depending on the selected database. Units for Optical ESB Bus Repeater Module (ANT10U) are not included in the number of connectable units
