Overview
zBus is TDT's high-speed, low-noise bus for System 3 modules. The bus is
integrated into a device chassis, which serves as a rack mountable housing for most
modular devices in the System 3 line. As seen in the functional diagram below, the
bus distributes communication and power throughout the system.

One or two modular devices can be mounted in the chassis’ front bays, providing
easy access to front panel connections. An interface module can be mounted in the
second rear bay for chassis housing a programmable device. Multiple chassis can be
interfaced for custom system configurations and individual modules can be added or
removed as needed.
