Features Ring

1 CM-0821 per branch

Supports redundant masters (2 branches)

Channels 3 (CH3, optical) and 4 (CH4, electrical) together can be set for a connection in
direction to a master or in direction to the slaves

Channel 3 (CH3, optical)

transmission rate for stuck at zero monitoring can be set using DIP switch
line-idle state can be set using DIP switch

Using channels 1 (CH1) and 2 (CH2), the ring is made

Features Star / Tree

1 CM-0821 and up to 7 CM-0822 can be attached side by side

Supports redundant masters (optically and electrically connected)

Channels 3 (CH3, optical) and 4 (CH4, electrical) together are set for a connection in
direction to a master

Channels 1 (CH1) and 2 (CH2) connect to one slave each

Optical channels
transmission rate for stuck at zero monitoring can be set using DIP switch
line-idle state can be set for each interface using DIP switch

Signal propagation delays

Ring

The signal propagation delays do not depend on direction.

Note:
In order to obtain the total signal propagation delay from one
master to one specific slave, the above mentioned signal
propagation delays and the signal propagation delay of all fibre
optics sections have to be taken into consideration (see an
example in ACP 1703 Platforms Configuration Automation Units
and Automation Networks)
