2.1 General Information on Interbus
Interbus is an open communications standard currently supported by over 200
equipment manufacturers with many diverse products. Interbus is a high speed
network design to connect I/O Modules, sensors, actuators and control devices
with programmable controllers and computer systems.
Interbus is a master/slave network designed for the efficient exchange of I/O data.
It has the capability to communicate with up to 256 devices over a distance of
42,000 feet (13 km) using twisted pair cable, and read 1024 inputs and write 1024
outputs in 4 ms. This provides optimum flexibility in configuration of a control
system in terms of the number of I/O drops and communication distances. In
addition to system configuration flexibility, Interbus does not compromise system
performance or reliability of I/O data. In addition to the Modicon Terminal I/O
modules, the use of Interbus compatible control products from other manufacture’s
provides an easy to integrate, cost effective control system based on an open
system architecture. A typical system configuration using Terminal block I/O
Modules together with Momentum I/O modules is shown in Figure 4 (page 15).
The 170 INT 110 00 Interbus Communication Adapter provides the communication
interface between Momentum I/O base and the Interbus network. This adapter can
be plugged into any Momentum I/O base to create a functional I/O unit on the
Interbus network.
