I. Basic Information

Hardware Architecture

1. Isolated HN800 Bus Signal Processing Unit
   Equipped with dedicated bus signal coprocessor, realizing signal shaping, 2500VAC electrical isolation, CRC data check and error retransmission, eliminating signal distortion and ground potential difference surge damage caused by long-distance transmission. Built-in high-speed data cache prevents bus congestion and message loss, ensuring real-time transmission of interlock and closed-loop control data.
2. Dual-channel Fiber Optic High-speed Transmission Unit
   Adopts point-to-point star topology, single-link maximum transmission distance 3km, compatible with all SD series single/redundant I/O modules. Optional hardware mechanical keying prevents mis-insertion of mismatched modules to avoid bus short-circuit and system communication crash.
3. Full-range Link Diagnosis & Status Indication Unit
   Front-panel LED indicators display power, bus operation, fiber transceiving and fault status in real time. The module monitors bus load, optical signal attenuation and bit error rate, uploads diagnostic data to the upper system, and stores timestamp fault logs for operation and maintenance traceability.
4. Wide-range Power Supply & Anti-vibration Mechanical Unit
   Obtains 24~48VDC isolated power from RMU610 base with multi-level overvoltage, overcurrent and short-circuit protection. DIN35 horizontal rail installation with anti-drop lock, fanless passive heat dissipation, supporting hot-swap maintenance under redundant operating mode.
5. Topology Compatibility & Hardware Interlock Unit
   Supports star bus topology, compatible with compact and full-size SD I/O bases. Configurable mechanical coding lock effectively avoids wrong module installation, improving system bus operation safety.
