I n t r o u c t i o n
The CHB 23 B is an 8-channel CIB-tech network component, with the purpose of extending the maximum
length of the CIB-tech network and simplif ing the CIB-tech wiring b facilitating star-t pe topologies. It
connects the backbone bus of the CIB-tech network and up to 8 different CIB-tech bus lines1.

Electrical characteristics
●Power Supply
The CHB 23 B can be powered from two sources: remotel from the backbone cable of the CIB-tech
network via the IBB-bus connector or locall through its power jack connector. The CHB 23 B favors
local power suppl over remote power and uses it automaticall if available; should the local power
suppl fail, the CHB 23 B switches back automaticall to backbone-supplied power. It should be
noted that this is not a desirable scenario unless the network is designed to be backbone-powered in
the first place, since the increased load on the backbone cable ma lead to insufficient voltage on
the network section connected to the inadvertentl remote-powered hub and / or ma cause
overheating of the backbone cable itself.
○Operating voltage range: 20 to 28V DC (nominal 24V DC)
○Own power consumption (no hub-powered network segments connected)
■Power suppl via IBB-bus connector
●Standb current (IHS1) 40mA
●Maximum current (IHM1) 65mA
■Power suppl via dedicated power jack
●Standb current (IHS2) 50mA
●Maximum current (IHM2) 80mA
●Power output
○Output voltage = Input voltage – 0.3V
○Maximum output current:
■Via backbone bus connector (IBBM) 3A
■Via bus connectors, each (IBM) 400mA
Power consumption of a hub is a function of the requirements of the network segments it is itself suppl ing
with power and can be found as the sum of all the network's and its own power consumption. At full load on
all segments, including power for other hubs via the output backbone connector (OBB), this would become:
IHUBM1 = IHM1 + IBBM + 8 x IBM = 6.265A for remotel powered hubs (via IBB) or
IHUBM2 = IHM2 + IBBM + 8 x IBM = 6.28A for locall powered hubs
However, if the hub is remotel powered from another hub via the backbone, it's IHUBM cannot exceed the
output power rating of the hub that powers it (IBBM), therefore such a remotel powered hub ma not be
loaded to it's full load. For such a hub, the sum of all the power it's expected to deliver and consume must be
less than the amount of power available to it (IBBM):
IHUBM1 = IHM1 + IBB + IB1 + IB2 + IB3 + IB4 + IB5 + IB6 + IB7 + IB8 < IBBM
Locall powered hubs have no such limit and can be loaded to the maximum rating of their backbone and
bus outputs.

Wiring iagrams
Connection to the backbone bus of the CIB-tech s stem:
Use the CHB 23 B device's two 8P8C (RJ45) modular jack connectors to connect it to the CIB-tech s stems
(chain like) backbone bus. Do not forget to switch off the corresponding BB-EOL switch(switches) if other
devices/hubs are connected to the IBB bus and / or OBB bus connector1; Please note, however, that an IBB
bus connector should onl be connected to another hub's OBB bus connector, and so on. Connecting an IBB
bus connector to another IBB bus connector is allowed if none of the two hubs are to be remotel powered,
but ou should never connect two OBB bus connectors with each other.
NOTE: In small CIB-tech s stems installations, where no backbone is present (the CHB 23 B is not
connected to other hubs) the BB bus connectors are not used and the BB-EOL switches must be in the ON
position.

Connection to CIB-tech systems bus lines (other evices):
Use the CHB 23 B device's 8 4P4C modular jack connectors to unite up to 8 CIB-tech bus lines into one CIB-
tech network, connected with other bus lines of other hubs via the backbone;
Please do not forget to set the BUS-EOL switches correctl . All the bus connectors that have a bus line
connected to them should have their switches in the OFF position. All the other switches, corresponding to
unused bus connectors, should be in the ON position.
Please check the power consumption of the individual bus lines: the maximum power output supplied b
each 4P4C connector on the CHB 23 B device is 400mA at 24V.
NOTE: No other CIB-tech hub should be connected to the bus lines.

A justing bus timing
To insure correct operation of the CIB-tech network, the CIB-tech hubs have a built-in timing circuit used to
counter the effects of bus capacitance and end-of-line signal reflections. The factor default setting should be
adequate in most cases, but signal qualit depends on actual cabling circumstances and in case of poor bus
performance the timing might need adjustment.
Changing bus timing is possible using the timing selection switch located on the bottom of the CHB 23 B.
The CHB 23 B's timing selection switch has 16 positions, marked 0 to 15(F), with hexadecimal numbers. The
t pical values in use are 3 to 7 with the default value of 4. Values outside of this range should onl be used in
extreme cases, 0 is factor reserved and should never be used.
NOTE: Before changing the default setting be sure that ou understand the terms in the “CIB-tech
Installation Manual” or contact IBS tech support.
Setting the selector switch
Use a small screwdriver to rotate the selector switch to the desired value (pointed-to b the arrow-shaped tip
of the switch):
