System bus connection 
System bus 
The functional components of the gas analyzer, i.e. the electronics module, 
the external I/O devices and the analyzer modules communicate with each 
other via the system bus. 
The system bus structure is linear with a maximum length of 350 m. 
One system housing 
The system bus connection is established at the factory if the electronics 
module and an analyzer module are installed in one system housing. 
In this case a terminating resistor should be installed in the system bus 
connector of the electronics module (supplied with the unit).

Multiple system housings 
If the electronics module and the analyzer module are accommodated in 
several system housings, they must be interconnected externally via the 
system bus.

ATTENTION 
Only one electronics module should be connected to a system bus struc-
ture. Multiple electronics modules should never be interconnected via the 
system bus!
