| Connector Type | 2 x 9-pin D-sub |
| Maximum Distance | 200 meters between segments |
| Termination | Switchable 120 ohm resistor |
| Isolation | 1500V AC |
Energy Storage and Power Requirements
The ABB 3BSE021439R1 draws 40 mA from the external 24V supply. A small capacitor filters noise on the power input line. This storage ensures clean bus signals in industrial environments. The adaptor contains no internal battery for operation.
Network Performance and Installation
The adaptor supports up to 32 devices on a single Modulebus segment. It automatically repeats signals between connected cables. Users can configure termination via DIP switches on the housing. This feature ensures proper signal reflection management for reliable communication.
