Extending the Island Bus

890USE17100 September 2003

Installing a Preferred Module Extension

Preliminary

Considerations

When you use preferred modules on an island, you need to create the island

configuration using the STB SPU 1000 Advantys configuration software, then

download it to the physical island.

Selecting

Preferred

Modules in the

Configuration

Software

The Advantys configuration software maintains the device profiles of all the

preferred modules that are currently available. A list of preferred modules appears

in the catalog browser, which appears by default on the right side of the workspace

display when you open an island file.

Before you select a preferred module from the catalog browser and place in the

island configuration, configure the NIM and all the i/O modules that precede the

preferred module on the island bus. The first preferred module on an island bus must

be immediately preceded by a segment of STB I/O modules that has an

STB XBE 1000 EOS module as its last (rightmost) module.

Physically

Connecting a

Preferred Module

to the Island

Preferred modules must be connected to the previous island module via an

STB XCA 100x island bus extension cable. The preceding module may be either:

an STB XBE 1000 EOS module

another preferred module

If the preferred module is the last module on the island it must be terminated with a

120 Ω resistor. If it is not the last module on the island, it can continue the island bus

extension to either:

an STB XBE 1200 BOS module in an extension segment

another preferred module

Power

Requirements

A preferred module does not receive logic power or field power from the island bus.

It will require its own power supply and power source.

Note: If a preferred module that you want to configure does not appear in the

catalog browser, you will need to update the software with the latest catalog. The

latest version of the catalog is always available on the Advantys website, which can

be downloaded from the Advantys page on the Schneider Automation website at
