 GENERAL
The N-IO system is connected to the field control unit (A2FV50) via an N-ESB bus, optical ESB bus, or ESB bus.
The N-IO system has the following nodes.
N-IO node
Node unit for dual-redundant ESB bus with optical repeater (ANB11D)
Node unit for dual-redundant ESB bus (ANB10D)
N-IO field enclosure
An N-IO node consists of a node interface unit (A2NN30D) and N-IO I/O unit (system model (*1): A2ZN3D,
A2ZN4DC, and A2ZN5DC). A node unit for dual-redundant ESB bus with optical repeater (ANB11D) and node unit
for dual-redundant ESB bus (ANB10D) each consist of a power supply module, bus interface module, and base unit
to which they are mounted, and only communication modules can be mounted.
Each node can be connected in a chain or star topology depending on the N-ESB bus, optical ESB bus, or ESB
bus configuration.The following shows a system configuration example.
N-IO field enclosure is the remote enclosure equipped with N-IO. For details, refer to the GS "N-IO field enclosure"
(GS 33J62R10-01EN).

 N-ESB bus, optical ESB bus, and ESB bus
Application
An N-ESB bus, optical ESB bus, or ESB bus is an input/output communication bus that connects the field control
unit (hereinafter FCU) (A2FV50) with N-IO nodes, node units for dual-redundant ESB bus with optical repeater
(ANB11D), and node units for dual-redundant ESB bus (ANB10D).
Connection specifications
Connection devices:
FCU (A2FV50), N-IO node, node unit for dual-redundant ESB bus with optical repeater (ANB11D), node unit for
dual-redundant ESB bus (ANB10D), and unit for optical ESB bus repeater modules (ANT10U).

N-ESB bus connection:

To connect N-IO nodes to FCU, mount N-ESB bus coupler modules (A2EN402 or A2EN404) to FCU. Up to 4 pairs
of N-ESB bus coupler modules (up to 8 modules) can be mounted to FCS. When mounting 4 pairs of A2EN402 or
A2EN404, up to 8 or 16 lines can be connected using a dual-redundant star connection via an N-ESB bus. Dual-
redundant chain connection allows up to 16 nodes per line to be connected.

Optical ESB bus connection:

To connect N-IO nodes and node units for dual-redundant ESB bus with optical repeater (ANB11D) to FCU via
an optical ESB bus, mount the ESB bus coupler module (EC401 or EC402) to slots IO7 and IO8 of FCU and then
connect the nodes and node units via optical ESB bus repeater module (ANT41-E, -F). Connection of a unit
for optical ESB bus repeater modules (ANT10U) allows for star connection. Furthermore, only use of an optical ESB
bus via ESB Bus Coupler Module (EC401 or EC402) allows for connecting node units for dual-redundant ESB bus
with optical repeater (ANB11D) beyond the N-IO node.

ESB Bus Connection:

To connect node units for dual-redundant ESB bus (ANB10D) to FCU, mount the ESB bus coupler module (EC401
or EC402) to slots IO7 and IO8 of FCU. EC401 and EC402 allow for star connection of 1 and up to 2 lines,
respectively, via ESB bus. Chain connection allows up to 8 units per line to be connected.

N-ESB bus, optical ESB bus and ESB bus are always configured in dual-redundancy. A single configuration is not
supported.
Combination of star and chain connection via N-ESB bus, optical ESB bus, and ESB bus allows for up to 32 N-IO
nodes or up to 8 nodes unit for dual-redundant ESB bus and/or nodes unit for dual-redundant ESB bus with optical
repeater (ANB11D) to be connected. The unit for optical ESB bus repeater module (ANT10U) is not included in
the number of connected units. For details on the maximum number of modules that can be mounted per FCU
(A2FV50), refer to “VP6F1800 control function for field control station (for A2FV50)” (GS 33J15C15-01EN),
and for details on the number of I/Os limited by the software license, refer to “VP6F3100 Project I/O License” (GS
33J15A10-01EN).

LIMITATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
n
 Restrictions when using the I/O adaptor (A2SAM105, A2SAM505, or A2SAP105)
The power supply capacity restricts the combination of I/O modules and I/O adaptors to be mounted to the N/IO node.
To mount the I/O adaptor (A2SAM105, A2SAM505, or A2SAP105), meet the following limit. There is no mounting
limitation when A2SAM105, A2SAM505, or A2SAP105 is not used.

Obtain the total number of the power consumption points for the N-IO nodes (up to 96 channels) from the number
of the points per I/O channel in the following table and add it to that of the power consumption points of the node
interface unit (A2NN30D). The total number of the points must be 100 or less. Assign the points of “Unused” in the
table to the unused channels of the I/O modules (A2MMM843). The total number of points cannot be calculated
accurately if a zero point is assigned to an unused channel.

 Restrictions when using the I/O adaptor (A2SDV505, or A2SDV506) and when using the field
power output of A2SMX802
A load current can cause generation of a voltage drop due to the resistance components of terminal board, N-IO I/O
unit, and AKB cable to connect them. The following tables show the voltage drop value (* 1) at each length of AKB
cable.

l Remarks when removing the through adaptor (A2SMX801)

When removing a I/O adaptor other than the through adaptor (A2SMX801) during system operation, the value at
the time of removal is held. However, A2SMX801 cannot hold the value at the time of removal when the digital input
function of I/O module is used, because the A2SMX801 functions as a disconnecting terminal.
Upon removal of the A2SMX801, a system alarm (No. 0495/0496) occurs and the operation state of the channel is
displayed as same as the other I/O adaptors.
