Data transmission
A maximum of 512 I/O data can be transmitted by each station. This corresponds to a
maximum of 512 digital or 32 analog inputs and/or outputs. Digital and analog signals may
also be mixed.
The transmission time for all I/O data depends on the number of inputs and outputs to be
transmitted, but is a maximum of 1 s. In practice, data is transmitted considerably faster (see
also “Transmission time” on page 13).
The field multiplexer transmits the signals that are present in parallel at the I/O terminals
serially along the cable. At the other end of the cable, the signals are output again through
the complementary I/O terminals in the opposite station.
Data is transmitted between two field multiplexer stations over a 2-wire copper cable.
RS-485 transmission reduces the effect of electromagnetic interference on the signals. A
maximum distance of 12 km may be covered.
Data can also be transmitted over fiber optics, telephone lines, Bluetooth or Ethernet. In this
case, use additional interface converters from Phoenix Contact and configure the field
multiplexers and converters accordingly (see Section “Technical appendix: The field
multiplexer with different transmission media” on page 67).
fiber-optic transmission is configured using a jumper on the first Inline connector.
The maximum distance depends on the type of cable selected, as well as on EMC
environmental conditions.
