Communications - SPC Communication interfacesVRBX01K04

The cRBX01 Compact Remote Bus eXtender is the fiber optic repeater module for the redundant HN800 IO bus of Symphony Plus.

cRBX01 fiber optic repeaters transparently extend the HN800 IO bus of SPCxxx controllers. cRBX01 repeaters need no configuration and remote IO or communication module have the same function, performance and capacity as local modules.

VRBX01K02 is a redundant remote IO kit that includes: 4x cRBX01 modules + 2x VMU610 bases.

Features and benefits

cRBX01 fiber optic repeater module supports up to 60 HN800 devices per remote link.
Fiber optic HN800 bus is a star topolgy (point-to-point) with up to 8 remote links per controller.
Each remote link supports up to 60 HN800 devices (SD Series IO or communication modules.
Using 62.5/125 µm Multi-Mode fiber optic cable with cRBX01 each link can be up to 3.0 km long.
