THE TI505 NIM
The TI505 NIM is the TIWAY I Network Interface Module for the SIMATIC TI505
Programmable Controllers. See Chapter 3 for a specific listing of controllers supported
by the TI505 NIM.
The TI505 NIM provides several features which ensure maximum network signal
integrity.
Each communication port is provided with a “Jabberstop” circuit to disable the
port’s transmitter in the event of a communication port failure. This helps
minimize failures resulting in continuous network transmission which would
dominate the communication channel.
The NIM provides data integrity checking of network communications.
The NIM meets several stringent noise and environmental specifications.
Built-in diagnostics aid in troubleshooting NIM failures and problems.
Chapter 3 provides a description of the diagnostics.
