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 required that this the backplane be terminated in for all node configurations using the following mannerguidelines:
- Terminators are recommended for all nodes with more than 1 Chameleon module with a processor
- Nodes consisting of 2 or to 3 modules are recommended to 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.
