Backplane Bus Communication Velocity and Network Determinism
The CI615 IOB_A Bus Coupler interfaces directly with the master system chassis to extend local communication lines to external I/O units. The hardware processes bus traffic over localized deterministic loops, mitigating propagation delays between processing modules and extended I/O termination racks. Direct backplane communication velocity matches the target system bus requirements, and the module features firmware flash compatibility with existing ABB Advant Master networks to prevent channel-to-channel communication collisions.
