Architecture of Interconnection Network
There are several ways to build the interconnection network for the SF910i.
The simplest case is that when the user is using only one SF910i in the system. In that
case, all connections are routed from the SF910i to the control system in one single
cable path. (Exceptions might apply). For the convenience, the user must add a junction
box along the cable path.
Systems with multiple SF910i require more complex interconnection network in which
details are not the purpose of this manual. Pointing out that the communication network
must be a bus structure with each station attached to the bus by means of a short stub.
The cable must be terminated on its characteristic impedance at the first station of the
bus (usually the master) and the last one.
The power supply can be distributed in a start topology or in a bus topology. Regarding
to power, it is recommended to insert a circuit breaker for each SF910i to easily operate
on one unit for servicing purpose, leaving the rest of the system unaffected.
For the maximum number of nodes and the stub length, these parameters together
with the maximum total network length influence each other and have impact on
the maximum attainable transmission speed. The number of stubs (nodes) and their
length, for instance, limit the transmission speed. The design of the network layout
is out of the purpose of this manual.
Galvanic Isolation
All the external interfaces (terminals) of the SF910i are galvanically isolated from the
power supply and the internal electronics. The wiring must be done with the suitable
care to keep the isolation specification. See also
and the below table. Error! Reference source not found for a summary of the isolation
zones.
Each table entry defines the test voltage between the zone itself and all other zones and
chassis connected together.
