A maximum of 80 gauges can be connected to the CIU 888. Gauges
should be divided over the field ports with a recommended maximum of
15 instruments per line. Best results are obtained when the Enraf field
bus signal to the gauges is connected in a “star” configuration. Refer to
FIGURE 3-2. Enraf Field Bus Board (BPM Board) can be placed in any
of the option slots 1 – 6.

connected to the centre terminal. Refer to FIGURE 5-3.
See section 3.3 "CIU 888 Interface Summary" for locating the ports.
NOTE: Number of instruments per BPM field line depends on the cable specifi
