Purpose | Enables communication between Nodebus stations and control network stations |
Operation Modes | - LAN Interface (LI) Mode: Acts as LI when no LI exists on the node - Nodebus Extender Mode: Extends control network to appear as part of the node when LI is present |
Transmission | - To/From Fast Ethernet Switch: 100 Mbps full-duplex - To/From Nodebus: 10 Mbps CSMA/CD - Packets: Up to 1000 packets per second |
Station Support | - Nodebus: Up to 63 stations per ATS - Control Network: Up to 1920 stations (Nodebus + control network) |
Redundancy | - Optional redundant configuration with two P0972VA modules - Switch Time: <1 s - Health/State Communication: Via network and local interlink |
Host Requirement | Requires control network workstation for hosting |
Communication | - Supports Interprocess Communications (IPC) for compound/block parameter data - No boot hosting of Nodebus stations from control network workstations |
Diagnostics | - Self-checking at power-up - Run-time checks with watchdog timer |
Configuration | Soft letterbugs configurable via Letterbug Configurator |
LED Indicators | Indicate ATS operational status, Fast Ethernet A/B links activity, Nodebus activity |
Power Requirements | - Input Voltage: 39 V DC typical (redundant voltage) - Consumption: 15 W max per non-redundant module |
