4.1.4 Connection to the control unit and intercon-
nection
The first PAMIO box of the configuration in use must be connected
to the control unit with a Superbus cable. The corresponding 50-
pins connector on the control unit side is numbered X13.
The Superbus cable is not included in the control
unit's basic scope of delivery. It has to be ordered
separately (see Ä Chapter 6.1.1 “Service
addresses” on page 130).
One application may require more than one PAMIO box. The
PAMIO backplanes have 50-pins connectors on each side, a male
connector on the left side (front view) as input and a female con-
nector on the right side as output. Thus it is possible to simply
press two boxes together to establish a full bus connection
between the boxes (Fig. 4).
Fig. 4: Assembling PAMIO boxes
When the total number of required PAMIO boxes is too big, it can
make sense to create two system racks, connected one to the
other by a Superbus cable (Fig. 5).
