Konzept
Backplane Board
A backplane board is mounted in the terminal base for the W1 width devices. The backplane board is equipped with two 2x5-pin bus connectors, a 2x6-pin electronics module connector, address logic circuitry, and a device label.
There are two versions of the backplane board:
The AS-P server and Central IO module version passes power through from the left to the right connector.
The power supply version does not pass power through from the left to the right connector.
The two backplane board versions incorporate different locations of the 2x6 electronics module connector. This arrangement prevents power interference problems if one or more power supplies are unintentionally installed on terminal bases that are designed for the AS-P servers or Central IO modules.
2x5 Connectors
The right connector establishes connection with the left connector of the next terminal base when the terminal bases are connected together.
The pins are used as follows:

2x6 Connector
The internal connector fetches or supplies power from/to the electronics module that is installed on the terminal base.
For the power supply, the connector resides in the left position and the pins are used as follows:

Address Logic Circuitry
The backplane board includes circuitry that provides the electronics module that is installed on the terminal base with a 5-bit address. The address circuitry on the backplane board receives its power from the +24 V backplane power. This is separated from the +24 V bus power.
Central IO Module Address Calculation
An I/O module 5-bit address is generated on the backplane board. Five bits are required to generate physical addresses from 0 to 31. The AS-P server and Central IO module read the physical address and add 1 internally to yield logical addresses from 1 to 32, which display as slot IDs in the EcoStruxure Building Operation software. The 5-bit address defines the maximum of 32 devices on the I/O bus. Although the power supply (PS-24V) uses an address, the device is not “smart”. The power supply does not communicate on the I/O bus or respond to packets on the I/O bus but consumes an address on the I/O bus.
The vertical 2x6 connector on the backplane board provides power, ground, communication, and the 5-bit address to an AS-P server and a Central IO module plugged into its terminal base.
The backplane board accepts an input address from the male 2x5 connector located on the left side of the terminal base. The backplane board circuitry adds 1 to the address passed to it from the left connector and outputs it on the female 2x5 connector on the right side. As more terminal bases are added to a system, the address increases from left to right.
The AS-P server and Central IO module read the address by way of the vertical 2x6 connector. The address read by the electronics module is also output on the female 2x5 connector on the right side.
The first terminal base on an I/O bus cannot have another terminal base plugged into its left, male connector. Therefore, internal programming resistors force the first physical address to be zero (0), which gives the logical address 1. For pin usage, see section “2x5 Connectors” and section “2x6 Connector”.
Device Label
The device label on the backplane board is used for writing down what type of electronics module is intended to be connected to the terminal base.
