1 Introduction

This document gives a short introduction to the e:bus system. e:bus is a bus system developed by Traxon

e:cue for secure, bi-directional and fast system link between e:bus enabled user terminals.

1.1 Advantages of the e:bus system

Thee:busnetworkingplatformoersseveralfeaturesforasimpleinstallationandgreatreliabilityinreal

installations.

ye:busisaself-organizingnetwork.Thissimpliescongurationbyaplug&play-likebehaviour.The

addressing happens automatically.

yLinkpower.Userinterfacesaredirectlypoweredovere:bus.Fewerwiresmakethehardware

installation much easier.

yThe connections are a very reliable and a stable communication basis with polarity-insensitive wiring.

At the end of this document (see page 06),youcanndashortcomparisonofe:buswithDALIandDMX

based communication.

1.2 General information

yUptoeightdevicescanbeconnectedtothee:bus,organizedbyasignlemasterdevice.

yFreetopologyarchitectureallowsthedevicestobeconnectedincombinationofstar,busandtree

structures.

ye:bus is designed for cable lengths of up to 400 meters, depending on cable type, topology and number

of connected devices. A bus topology allows the largest cable length.

yThe maximum stub length is 30 cm.

yInterfaces are powered via e:bus.

yInterfaces will be automatically registered and addressed.

yDefectiveunitswillnotaectthecommunicationbetweenotherdevices.

yAmaximumofeighte:busdevices,e.g.e:cueGlassTouches,issupportedbyoneSYMPLe:busNode.

e:bus network communication cables should be seperated

fromhighvoltagepowercables.Followlocalelectricalcodes

with regard to cable placement.

2.1 Wiring

The e:bus is a 2-wire-bus system using screw terminal connectors to attach the wires safely and robust. The

wiringbetweenthedevicesisextremelyexible.Inadditiontothefreetopologydesign,youdonotneedtopay

attention to polarities. As long as the two e:bus connectors of a user terminal are connected to the master

unit’sconnectors,regardlessifacablegoesfrom+to+orfrom+to-,everythingwillworkne.Thetwoe:bus

connectors of a user terminal can be connected to the master unit‘s connectors either way. The terminal

deviceswillrecognizethepolarityontheirownandcongurethemselvestheproperway.

2.2 Invalid congurations

Donotaddasecondmastertoane:bus

network!

Donotleaveanywiresopen!Openwireswillcausesignal

reectionsandthereforedisruptcommunication.

3 Cable types and lengths

3.1 Cable types

The maximum cable length is greatly dependent on device count, topology and cable types as well. Approved

cabletypesfore:busareAWG16(1.5sqmm)cablesandAWG24(0.28sqmm)Cat5orJ-Y(St)Ycables.The

following table shows valuable key facts:

4 Special cabling conditions

4.1 Glass Touch

FortheGlassTouchthevaluesabovearenotvalid.Instead,watchtheserequirements:

yUse2x0.5sqmm.

yUseadirectconnectionfromSYMPLe:busNodetoGlassTouch,nobranching.

yMaximumcablelengthis100m.
