2 Introduction
2.1 General Description
All Anybus CompactCom module implementations share the same footprint and electrical
interface, allowing the host application to support all major networking systems using the same
hardware platform. In the same way all Anybus CompactCom B40-1 share footprint and
electrical interface. This document describes the hardware details of the Anybus CompactCom
M40 modules, both with and without housing. Please consult the Anybus CompactCom B40–1
Design Guide for specific information about the Anybus CompactCom B40–1 brick solution.
This a class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
This product contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts that may be
damaged if ESD control procedures are not followed. Static control precautions are
required when handling the product. Failure to observe this may cause damage to
the product.
