Expansion Modules: eBX-04/eBX-08

Description

The enteliBUSTM Expander (eBX) is used for I/O expansion. Each Expander supports up to 8 I/O Modules (eBM-xxx). One Expander Module is required for each Backplane.

The eBX comes bundled with an Expander Backplane. Expander Backplanes come in two sizes supporting up to 4 or 8 I/O Modules each. Connectors on the ends of each Backplane allow up to 8 Backplanes to be connected together, and controlled from a single enteliBUS Automation Engine (eBCON or eBMGR).

Application

The enteliBUS Control System is made up of multiple modular components that you select to meet the exact needs of a wide range of HVAC and Access control applications.

The enteliBUS Expander with associated I/O Modules provides cost effective, modular I/O expansion capabilities. For large single systems, centralizing I/O provides better control by simplifying engineering, programming, and commissioning.

Features

— Modular, expandable I/O

— Up to 8 Expanders/Backplanes on a single Automation Engine (eBMGR or eBCON)

— Each Expander + Backplane can support up to 4 or 8 I/O Modules (depending on Backplane used)

— Auto detecting & hot swappable I/O Modules

— LED status indications of power, module status, and communication bus activity

— Snap fit, no tools required to add/ remove modules

— Small footprint, DIN rail mountable

— Modular design provides flexibility, ease of service, and reduced cost for future upgrades
