3. Operation overvie
3.1. Background
In the BiDi-Bus the maximum number of participants in one level or
sublevel is limited to 32 nodes (e.g. interface, booster, accessory
decoder, feedback modules) for technical reasons.
In total up to 4 levels are permitted. With special nodes (the bus
bridges or so-called "hubs") further sublevels can be added in the top 3
levels, again ith 32 nodes each. Theoretically, about 1 million nodes
are possible in one system - a number that is certainly not exhausted in
practice.
The hierarchical structure enables the structured iring of the system.
This results in various advantages:
Depending on the system concept, the iring of individual system
parts or component groups can be clearly grouped in sublevels.
The extension of a layout or the addition of additional stationary
components is very easy. Changes and additions remain permanently
traceable.
Princi le structure of a BiDiB-controlled system
The system comprises up to 4 levels ith a maximum of 32 nodes each.
In the top 3 levels, additional sub-levels can be inserted ith the help
of hubs, hich can also have up to 32 nodes each. Hubs are no longer
permitted on the 4th level.
Level 1 contains the interface hich establishes the connection to the
PC and the control soft are. In the first level up to 31 additional nodes
can be inserted (the interface counts as one of 32 possible nodes).
The hubs technically represent 2 nodes, one in the main level to hich
they are assigned and one in the sublevel hich is set up ith their
help.
Page 7

English ARTEMIS
Note on the numbering of the nodes in the example: According to the
BiDiB specification the user does not have to deal ith numbers or
addresses of the components. The numbers in the figure ere dialled in
analogy to the addresses that the components receive according to the
BiDiB protocol. Ho ever, they are only intended here to clarify the
structure.
Tip: In order to keep the overvie ith a larger number of sublevels, it
is recommended to mark the bus cables of a sublevel uniformly or to
use patch cables in a different colour for each sublevel.

3.2. ARTEMIS
Pro erties according to BiDiB s ecification ("Features")
The ARTEMIS bus bridge ("hub") is, in the sense of the BiDiB
specification, a node on a bus level hich 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" hich 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 ell 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 follo ing
additional features ("optional features"):
Firm are update: It is possible to update the firm are for ARTEMIS.
Power su ly for additional nodes
According to the BiDiB specification, components that do not require
additional po er for their basic functions (e.g. feedback devices) obtain
their po er via the bus cable. ARTEMIS can provide up to 0.5 A for the
supply of components in the sublevel.

5.2. Connection of the po er supply
Use a separate plug-in or s itching po er supply for ARTEMIS.
Technical data:
Output voltage: 12 - 18 V direct voltage (DC)
Output current: at least 1 A
Please note :
Do not use an AC transformer or AC po er supply unit as the po er
supply. ARTEMIS ould be damaged (possibly irreparably) during
commissioning!
Never connect digital components hich are integrated in a conventional
digital controller ( ith digital central unit) to a po er supply unit hich is
used to supply BiDiB components.
Use the supplied terminal
block to connect the po er
supply. Connect the terminal
to the "Po er" connector so
that the scre s are visible
from above.
Insert the po er supply
connection cables into the
terminal and scre them
tight. Observe the polarity. If
the polarity is incorrect, the
unit ill not function.

5.3. Connection to the BiDi-Bus
In terms of the BiDiB specification, ARTEMIS is a node that is operated
together ith up to 31 other nodes on one level. At the same time
ARTEMIS is the interface for a subordinate level ith up to 31 further
nodes.
Cabling
According to the BiDiBus specification, patch cables ith RJ 45
connections (Cat5 cable) are provided as bus cables for ARTEMIS.
These cables are easy and quick to handle and ensure secure
connections to the interface and to other nodes. Connecting and
disconnecting the cables during operation is permitted (hot plugging).
The t o RJ 45 connection
sockets on the main and sub
levels are each connected in
parallel. They can therefore
optionally be used for
connection to other BiDiB
nodes of the respective level.
Page 13

Setting the termination jum ers
If the ARTEMIS hub is installed at one end of a BiDiB line (i.e. only one
of the t o BiDiB ports of the main or sub level has an RJ-45 cable), you
must plug in the t o jumpers for the DCC and BiDiB termination of the
level concerned. If you subsequently connect one or more devices to
the second BiDiB port, you must remove the termination jumpers.
Note: If you do not set termination jumpers on a hub installed at one
end of the BiDiBus cable, the deformation of the electrical signal may
cause interference in data transmission. If the termination jumpers are
set on a hub that is not installed at one end of the bus line, data
transmission may fail. Incorrectly set or missing termination jumpers
do not damage the hub.
