VibroSmart modules that are located side-by-side

can communicate directly (no Ethernet cabling

required) using the sidebus connectors on the

terminal base that support both SBUS and

redundant power supply distribution. VibroSmart

modules that are mounted separate from one

another can communicate over standard and

redundant Ethernet networks of shielded twistedpair

Ethernet cable using the Ethernet connectors

on the terminal base. However, using these

Ethernet connectors does require that the power

supply is distributed separately.

Discrete signal interface (DSI) inputs, including the

module lock signal, and tachometer signals can

be connected directly to individual modules

(locally). Alternatively, to reduce external wiring,

these signals can be connected to a single

VibroSmart module and shared among modules

in the same measurement block using the SBUS.
