Fairmount Automation Chameleon modules with processors ( modules other than ACP-1, DCP-1, etc.) in a node communicate with each other over communicate using a serial backplane channel within the node. For nodes with more than one processor module, this backplane needs to be terminated with the below pictured unit.
It is recommended that this backplane be terminated in the following manner:
...
It is recommended that the backplane be terminated for all node configurations using the following guidelines:
- Nodes consisting of 1 to 3 modules should have 1 terminator installed at either end of the node
- Nodes consisting of more than 3 modules are recommended to have 2 4 and above modules should have two terminators installed, 1 one terminator at each end of the node
The backplane terminator, part number 01020-150 is shown below.
