3.2. ARTEMIS
Properties according to BiDiB specification ("Features")
The ARTEMIS bus bridge ("hub") is, in the sense of the BiDiB
specification, a node on a bus level which is also the interface for a
subordinate level. It corresponds to the requirements for the class
"interface" defined in the BiDiB specification.
In the BiDiB specification properties are given for devices of the class
"Interface" which all nodes of this class must have ("mandatory
features"). They mainly refer to the transmission of messages from and
to further nodes in a sub-level.
According to the BiDiB specification ARTEMIS transmits all system
messages as well as all messages for node management (NEW, LOST,
etc.).
ARTEMIS is overload-proof, i.e. integrated buffers ensure that no
messages are lost.
In addition to the mandatory features ARTEMIS has the following
additional features ("optional features"):
Firmware update: It is possible to update the firmware for ARTEMIS.
Power supply for additional nodes
According to the BiDiB specification, components that do not require
additional power for their basic functions (e.g. feedback devices) obtain
their power via the bus cable. ARTEMIS can provide up to 0.5 A for the
supply of components in the sublevel.
