IBS Interbus
Interbus A field bus introduced by Phoenix Contact. It is
defined as a ring system in which every device
regenerates and forwards the incoming signal.
The Interbus offers high data throughput at a low
cycle rate and is particularly immune to interfer-
ence. It is defined for normal copper cables and
also for fiber-optic cables. Up to 512 slaves can
be connected to an Interbus (master-slave struc-
ture) and up to 4096 I/Os can be served. The
main ring (remote bus) can contain up to 256
devices; local buses or loop segments can be
coupled, e.g. in a machine, by means of bus
couplers.
ISA Industry Standard Architecture: commonly-used
PC bus before PCI.
