TD960801-0MC 5 2 Installation 2.1 Introduction The EXTEND-A-BUS series is intended to be panel mounted into an industrial enclosure or into a wiring closet. T wo #8 pan head screws (not provided) are required for mounting. Optionally , the bridge can be mounted on a DIN rail by purchasing a DIN rail mounting kit. 2.2. Electromagnetic Compliance The[...]

TD960801-0MC 6 The EXTEND-A-BUS has been tested to EN50082 Generic Immunity Standard–Industrial Environment. This standard identifies a series of tests requiring the equipment to perform to a particular level during or after the execution of the tests. The three classes of performance are defined by CCSI as follows: Class A - Normal operation, ho[...]

TD960801-0MC 7 connector . There are several methods for providing power . These methods are DC powered, redundant DC powered, AC powered and AC powered with battery backup. 2.4.1 DC Power ed Make connections as shown in Figure 2-1. The EXTEND-A- BUS incorporates a DC-DC converter that accepts a wide voltage range (10–36 VDC) and converts the vol[...]

TD960801-0MC 8 Figur e 2-2. Redundant DC Powered 2.4.3 AC Power ed If only AC power is available, the EXTEND-A-BUS can be powered by the secondary of a low voltage transformer whose primary is connected to the AC mains. The secondary voltage must be in the range of 8 to 24 V AC, 47–63 Hz with the capability of delivering up to 4 V A of apparent p[...]

TD960801-0MC 9 2.4.4 AC Power ed with Batter y Backup The EXTEND-A-BUS can also be powered from both an AC and DC power source. Usually , the DC source is from a battery supply which is connected as the DC powered option. Refer to Figure 2-4. In this application, the EXTEND-A-BUS does not charge the battery so separate provisions are required for c[...]

TD960801-0MC 10 T erminators are required at the ends of trunk cables. If the EXTEND-A-BUS is located at the end of a trunk and no terminator is present, a discrete resistor terminator (121 ohms) can be connected under the screw terminals for CAN_H and CAN_L. Refer to Figure 2-5 for wiring details. 1 V - black 2 CAN_L blue 3 drain b are 4 CAN_H whi[...]

TD960801-0MC 11 2.5.3 Autobauding Autobauding is the action of automatically matching the data rate of the EXTEND-A-BUS to the data rate of a master controller or scanner in a DeviceNet network. By moving the Data Rate switch to the A position and powering up the EXTEND-A-BUS, the EXTEND-A-BUS will attempt to determine the data rate by observing th[...]

TD960801-0MC 12 2.6 Connecting to the Backbone Port The backbone (link) port is ARCNET compliant and, therefore, complies with the cabling rules for ARCNET networks. For more information on designing an ARCNET cabling system, refer to Contemporary Controls’ publication, “ARCNET T utorial & Product Guide.” Either of two transceivers are av[...]

TD960801-0MC 13 More than two EXTEND-A-BUSes (but no more than eight) can be connected to one wiring segment. Insert the desired number of EXTEND-A-BUSes using BNC-T ee connectors to the backbone wiring. Make sure that any two EXTEND-A- BUSes are separated by at least 6 foot (2 m) of cable and that the complete cabling segment does not exceed 1000 [...]

TD960801-0MC 14 Figure 2-8. A maximum of eight EXTEND-A-BUSes can occupy one coaxial backbone segment befor e an active hub is r equir ed. Use BNC “T ees” and terminators when making connections. One of each is included in the -CXB model. 2.6.2 Connecting Fiber Optic Cable (-FOG) Multimode fiber optic cable is typically available in three sizes[...]

A 62.5/125 µ m duplex fiber optic cable is used on the -FOG model up to a maximum of 1830 meters. for connecting cable between hubs and EXTEND-A-BUSes in the field using the manufacturers' labeling as a guide. However , remember that to connect point A to point B requires a paired fiber optic cable and that the lig[...]

TD960801-0MC 16 2.6.3 Extending the Backbone The backbone side of the EXTEND-A-BUS must comply with standard ARCNET cabling rules. Companion AI ARCNET active hubs are available for extending the backbone cabling up to 6 km using coaxial cabling and ten active hubs. When using a fiber optic backbone, a maximum of 4.8 km can be achieved requiring two[...]

TD960801-0MC 17 Figure 2-10. By using two AI3-CXS hubs, a distributed star topology is achieved. Note that the hub-to-hub distance can be a maximum of 610 m when using coaxial cable and that no terminators ar e used at the AI3 ports. However , the cables to the EXTEND-A-BUSes still cannot exceed 305 m.[...]

TD960801-0MC 19 3 Operation 3.1 CAN Communications CAN was designed by Bosch and is currently described by ISO 1 1898. In terms of the Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI), CAN partially defines the services for layer 1 (physical) and layer 2 (data link). Other standards such as DeviceNet, Smart Distributed System and CANopen (collectively call[...]

TD960801-0MC 20 3.1.1 Repeaters The usual approach to increasing network distance is to use repeaters. Repeaters provide signal boost to make up the loss of signal strength on a long segment. However , the problem with long CAN segments is usually not lack of signal strength but excessive signal latency . This latency is due to the propagation dela[...]

TD960801-0MC 21 mounting into a larger industrial enclosure. As an option, the EXTEND-A-BUS can be DIN rail mounted by purchasing the appropriate kit. The EXTEND-A-BUS has two ports, one for the CAN network and the other for the ARCNET backbone. The device can be powered from either a low voltage AC or DC power supply . 3.2.1 CAN Port One electrica[...]

TD960801-0MC 22 3.2.3 T opologies CAN-based device networks usually operate over a multidrop topology with provisions for short drops of typically six meters each. The trunk length depends upon the data rate and at 500 kbps, the maximum length of the trunk is 100 meters. Conceptually , the multidrop topology is easy to understand and appears easy t[...]

TD960801-0MC 23 3.2.5 EXTEND-A-BUS Engine A high speed 32 Mhz 80C188 microprocessor provides the computing power for the EXTEND-A-BUS. The ARCNET port consists of a 20020 controller chip and coaxial bus or fiber optic transceiver . The CAN port consists of a Intel 82527 CAN controller and isolated 82C251 transceiver . The CAN port is capable of gen[...]

TD960801-0MC 24 W ithin a CAN segment, at least one device must acknowledge the valid receipt of another device’ s transmission. That acknowledgment, however , does not extend beyond an EXTEND-A-BUS. Even though a successful transmission occurred on a CAN segment, that transmission must be replicated on all other CAN segments generating additiona[...]

TD960801-0MC 25 MAC ID tests as in the case of DeviceNet. However , if a remote bridge loses power while all other devices remain powered, the failure mode should be no different than cutting the cable in the middle of a CAN segment. When power is restored to the remote bridges, the restart sequence should be the same as if the maintenance person r[...]
