1.2 170 INT 120 00 Communications Adapter Basics
1.2.1 Environmental Conditions
The communications adapter’s environmental specification conforms to that of the
I/O bases upon which it can be mounted. Specifics can be found within the system
data presented in the 870 USE 002 02 User Manual for TSX Momentum I/O
Bases.
1.2.2
Communications Adapter Installation
The communications adapter (executed in the IP20 safety classification) connects
to the I/O base through a single connector. The adapter is locked firmly in place by
spring clips, and can be easily removed with a screwdriver.
A label inlay is supplied with the I/O base and fits directly into the recessed area at
the front of the adapter. The signal names given to the connected sensors and
actuators can be identified directly upon the label. A small opening at the right side
of the label inlay keeps the bus adapter’s name visible.
1.2.3
Function
The bus adapter is equipped with 2 Interbus ports (incoming and outgoing remote
bus) for fiber optic cable conforming to the Interbus standards DIN 19258.
Each Interbus node updates & regenerates the incoming message stream before
passing it on to the next node. Message handling includes the extraction of output
data destined for the adapters host I/O base, and the addition of any collected
input data.
1.2.4
Error Control Procedures
The internal power supply (Vcc) required by the adapter is provided by the host
I/O base. Vcc is monitored, generating a reset signal whenever Vcc is out of
tolerance.
The INT 120 00 also performs quality monitoring of the optical transmission
medium. The light level at the incoming and outgoing remote bus optical receivers
is measured and compared with a preset threshold value. Any lesser values are
