The built-in AutroFieldBus Master driver serves as a communication
protocol between the AutroSafe panel, the BSD-340 PowerLoop drivers
and BSD-321 protocol converters, plus Power Board BSF-400. It
provides a redundant field bus system with a ring loop topology.
The AutroSafe panels have one AutroFieldBus connected, and each
AutroFieldBus can host up to 31 bus units.
