How to use more than one BACS Splitting Box

The BACS splitting box is a flexible device. With this device, it is possible to:

- Create partial redundancies

- Create partial ring cabling

- Create ring cabling with different splitting boxes

This flexibility allows technicians to be structured as well as flexible about the locations and technicalities of a BACS installation to

maximize reliability:

This installation example shows a combined bus cabling method:

Due to EMI irradiation, the data line between module 5 and 6 is compromised, which leads to sporadic failures. As a consequence,

BACS would have problems with modules 6, 7 and 8, as these modules are subsequently connected via a data line. Therefore, modules

5-8 were connected via a second BACS splitting box, creating ring cabling.

Even if EMI interference would compromise the data line between modules 5 and 6, the BACS Web Manager would reliably reach all

modules and report no errors.

Side effect of this topology:

The BACS Splitting Box 2 is connected directly to Splitting Box 1. If this connection is lost, Splitting Box 2 would automatically try to

route the signal via the BACS wiring of the modules 5 - 8. Without EMI it will work properly. Therefore, the modules 9-12 and 17 - 19 are

closely connected to the Web Manager via ring cabling, even if it does not seem to be at first view

Note

The BACS Webmanager is the central unit that controls the monitoring and control. If possible, use a ring topology to ensure the best

possible connectivity and reliability. The BACS bus is designed to exclude a network short-circuit and ensure any number of

redundancies - nevertheless, structured cabling is recommended for maintenance and traceability of an installation.
