Distribution
G3 Series PROFIBUS‐DP Technical
Manual
Distribution of I/O capability can be easily achieved with the G3 platform by means of Sub-Bus modules.
I/O modules, valve manifolds and/or a combination of both can be simply separated from the main manifold
and distributed via a sub-bus communication cable. The G3 platform uses the same I/O modules on the
main manifold as on the distribution chain. The main communication module can control up to 16 I/O
modules either on the main manifold or as part of the sub-bus connections. To utilize the sub-bus
distribution capabilities the Sub-Bus OUT module must be located on the end of the main communication
manifold and a Terminator Module must be located at the last sub-bus component.
