3.2.1 Interfacing expanders & keypads on the BUS
PIMA's remote expanders has two terminal blocks for connecting to the BUS braid: "lower"
and "upper", front look. Both has four terminals, numbered 1-4. When the BUS overall length
is up to 500m, the connection is done via the "lower" terminals; see Diagram 5.
To extend the BUS over 500m, connect the first peripheral to the "upper" terminals, that serve
as a buffer and enable to extend the BUS; see Diagram 6.
