15 IO Busses

15.1 1 General info about IO busses

A specific bus has to be used for non-redundant IO or redundant IO exclusively. Therefore, in Safety Man-
ager with both redundant and non-redundant IO, at least three busses must be used: one pair that is con-
nected to all IO chassis for redundant IO, and one bus that is connected to all IO chassis for non-
redundant IO.
The below figure shows an example of the IO busses in a system with two cabinets:

Chassis 1 to 5 of the controller cabinet are redundant and connected to IO bus 1.1 resp. IO bus
2.1 of CP1 resp. CP2.

Chassis 1 to 7 of the extension cabinet are redundant and connected to IO bus 1.2 resp. IO bus
2.2 of CP1 resp. CP2.

Chassis 6 to 8 of the controller cabinet are non-redundant and connected to IO bus x.3 of CP1
and CP2.

Chassis 8 and 9 of the extension cabinet are non-redundant and connected to IO bus x.4 of CP1
and CP2.

The connection cable between the Controller chassis and the IO chassis is the flatcable assembly IOBUS-
CPIO (see section IOBUS-CPIO).
