F-FEM-DDC — User’s Guide
2.3 Cascading
The F-FEM-DDC is part of a family of Front End Modules that operate together
in a network. An interface up to 400 MBaud IEEE1394 is used to connect them
for data transmission. The other members of this group are:
Because it has an RS485 interface, the FEM-P is an exception in this group. It is
therefore operated as a submodule of a F-FEM-AIS, -CAIS, -AIN, -CAIN. The
F-FEM-DIO is connected via a serial interface at F-FEMs of other types
(F-FEM-CON, -DAC, -CNT).
Several F-FEMs can be connected with the IEEE1394 interface to a bus. The
restrictions on the number of nodes, total sampling rate and number of channels
are dependent on the licence and version of the PUMA Open Software.
You will find further information in the corresponding F-FEM parameterizing
manual.
