3 Device description and example topologies
The 800-CON-RJ45 transfer module transfers the JanBus communication of a basic
device via an RJ45 cable to spatially distant measuring points (please note
the specification of suitable basic devices in the user manual). In this way,
you can implement measurement-device and module topologies with flexible
arrangement of your DIN rails (for DIN rail types, see Technical Data) in the
control cabinet or small installation distributors.
Check the maximum number of module slots of your basic device (see user manual
of the basic device). In order to use all available slots of a basic device,
the following JanBus measurement-device and module topologies, for example,
can be implemented with the 800-CON-RJ45 transfer module:
- A JanBus topology consisting of 1-slot modules until the maximum number of slots of the basic device is exhausted (e.g. digital input module 800DI14, current measurement module 800-CT8-A, current measurement module 800-CT8-LP).
- A combined JanBus topology consisting of 1-slot and X-slot modules until the maximum slot count of the basic device is exhausted (e.g. a combination of 1-slot and 3-slot modules, such as the 800-CT24).
- A JanBus topology 800-CT24, e.g. consisting of several 3-slot modules, until the maximum slot number of the basic device is exhausted (e.g. a JanBus topology with 3 current measuring modules of the type 800-CT24, which together occupy 9 slots).
ℹ INFORMATION
System limits:
- For the maximum bus length (JanBus – proprietary) for setting up measurement-device and module topologies, refer to the “Technical data”.
- Use a commercially available RJ45 cable (RJ45 patch cable) for trouble-free JanBus communication in your measurement-device and module topology.
- The 3 following measurement-device and module topologies with JanBus communication are examples! Before mounting your measurement-device and module topology, please check the number of suitable modules and their slot assignment on the basic device (see user manual of the respective module).
- Do not exceed the maximum number of module slots of the basic device (the 800-CON-RJ45 transfer module does not occupy a slot)!
- The scope of delivery of the 800-CON-RJ45 module can be found in the user manual for the module.

When mounting, make sure to provide sufficient space in your installation environment and to observe the bending radius of the RJ45 cables!
INFORMATION
The 800-CON-RJ45 transfer module with output bus connector on the basic device
or on modules connected in series
- is always located at the end of a series of measurement devices and modules
- cannot forward any JanBus communication via the output bus connector!
ATTENTION
The basic device in a topology with transfer modules does not recognize
modules (e.g. current measuring modules, digital input modules) during the
power-up procedure! If there is no communication to modules, the module
functions are not supported (e.g. current measurements).
-
Switch off the power supply to your system.
-
Check the installation of the basic device with transfer module and the connection (JanBus interface/RJ45 cable) to your modules:
– Check the contacts and seating of the transfer module on the bus connector.
– Check the fit of the RJ45 cables, if necessary rewire the connected modules (use commercially available RJ45 patch cables). -
If necessary, restart the basic device.
-
