Overview

FrSky-RB10-Redundancy-Bus-IMAGE-01 \(2\)

  • CH1-Cho – connect up to & servos (PM) S.PORT – connect to the S. Port of X series receiver and feedback integrated S. Port values (including voltage, overload indication, etc)

  • Weight: 10g
  • Dimension: 63x27x10.5mm

The Redundancy Bus-10 is a switchboard connected to the power supplies, receivers, servos and S. Port sensors.

  • The Redundancy Bus-10 does not contain circuitry to stabilize or regulate voltage to the servos.
  • The level of the input voltage is equal to the level of (output) supply voltage to the servos. Be sure to match the proper type of servos with your selected power supply (for example: when using 2 LiPo cells without a regulator, it is necessary to use servos labeled “High Voltage”).
  • Do not connect more than one Redundancy Bus to one servo. Do not use Y harness to connect more than one servo to each servo output.

Note: The Redundancy Bus-10 could be daisy-chained with FrSky Smart Port sensors via S. PORT. Use it as the last item in the chain, or use Y lead if it is between the FrSky Smart Port sensors and the receiver.

Power Supply

  • Power supply of Redundancy Bus-10 could be provided from either one battery/BEC (connect via BATT1 or BATT2), or two (connect to BATT1 and BATT2).
  • When two power supplies are used, make sure both supply a 15A continuous and 40A peak current, otherwise the overload protection feature could not function efficiently. If the voltages of two power supplies are the same, the power can be used from both supplies at the same time; if the voltages of two power supplies are different, the power comes from the one with the higher voltage, and each supply is isolated from each other instead of shared. Use of different capacity, number of cells and chemistry type batteries is allowed.
  • Caution : Do not connect power supplies to CH1~8, S.PORT, SBUS OUT, RX 1IN or RX 2 IN.

Overload Protection

  • The Redundancy Bus-10 has an overload protection function by PPTC through a circuit inside on each se output. If overload current happens, the affected servo output will be disconnected from the power supply wi the remaining servo outputs are still powered.
  • Note: Each channel(include CH1-CH8,SBUS_OUT RX1 IN,RX2 IN)has an overload protection function. Each channel hold Current is 2.5A(Maximum current device will not trip in 25°C still air).
  • Each channer trip Current is 5.0A(Minimum current at which the device will always trip in 25°C still air)-Duration of more than one minute.

Setting for Servo Signal Output Period

The default period for the signal output is 20ms, and it could be set to receiver synchronized. Analog servos are not recommended to set to receiver synchronized.
Follow steps below to set the signal output period:

  1. Step 1, Connect signal pins of CH1 and CH2 by a jumper;
  2. Step 2, Connect the power supply to BATT1 or BATT2;
  3. Step 3, The Green LED flashes quickly, indicating the setting process of setting the signal output period from default 20ms to receiver synchronized is completed;
  4. Step 4, Disconnect the jumper from CH1 and CH2, disconnect the power supply.
  • How to distinguish between 20ms and receiver synchronized Connect a receiver to RX1 IN or RX2 IN, connect power supply to BATT1 or BATT2, if GREEN LED flashes quickly, it is receiver synchronized output; if stay on, it is 20ms output.
  • When working in the synchronous mode, the period of the PWM output is the same to that of the SBUS input. For example, if the period of the SBUS input is 9ms, the period of the PWM output is 9ms as well.
  • If the SBUS input period of RX1 IN is different with that of RX2 IN but both receivers are powered on at the same time, the period of the PWM output is the same to the one receiver with longer period; but if both receivers are not powered at the same time, the period of the PWM output is the same to the one receiver that is powered on first.
  • For example, the SBUS input period of RX1 IN is 9ms, while that of RX2 IN is 18ms. If both receivers are powered on at the same time, the period of the PWM output is 18ms. If RX1 is powered on before RX2, the period of the PWM output is 9ms. In synchronous mode, the signal delay is 3.05ms.
