Buses in SC Controller
Buses in SC Controller
The back plane in the 6202N SC controller card file is composed of four major buses.
They are
1. Parallel Bus(P- Bus)
2. File Bus(F-Bus)
3. Serial Bus
4. I/O Bus
Parallel Bus: The 16bit P-Bus is used for update, upload and downloading of the 6214B
Backup Memory and 6204C Control Modules. It controls 8 bit data bus and control lines
works on master slave protocol. Backup module is master and other control modules are
slaves.
File Bus: The F-Bus is a local bus operating in a token passing loop format and is used
for intermodule communications between controllers, backup controllers, and the 6205B
D/F modules in the controller card file. It is a redundant serial synchronous
communication protocol.
Serial Bus: The serial bus is a RS-422 bus used for communication between external
devices such as programmable logic controllers. The 6204B model D control module also
supports multi drop communication for the smart device interfaces.
I/O Bus: The I/O bus handles the transfer of process I/O signals between primary and
back up 6204B control modules through the 6215 I/O transfer module.
