Industrial Control and Drives Backplane Communication Velocity
The TC513 serves as a specialized electrical interface module on Advant Fieldbus 100 (AF100) networks, bridging separate physical bus media by adapting differential twisted-pair data streams into single-ended coaxial topologies. To prevent transmission reflections, jitter, and frame synchronization lag, the modem converts signal pulses natively while maintaining full backplane bus communication velocity across the interconnected nodes. This layout enables deterministic process control and cyclic I/O scanning between remote controller racks.
