Installing the ModuleBus
The ModuleBus has an electrical and a fiber optical interface that are logically the
same buses. A maximum of 12 I/O units can be connected to the Electrical
ModuleBus and up to seven clusters to the fiber optical ModuleBus. The fiber
optical interface is intended for local distribution of I/O clusters and for connection
of engineered and standard drives.
Figure 17 on page 77 provides details of the fiber optic connectors, together with the
PM8xx optical ModuleBus ports.
