The Kongsberg SPBUS-TERM (600198) is a bus termination module used in Kongsberg marine automation systems. It provides the termination network for the SPBUS (Serial Process I/O Bus), connecting the remote controller with distributed RIO modules. Kongsberg documentation identifies 600198 as the earlier SPBUS-Term module.
Key Features
- Provides end-of-line termination for the Kongsberg SPBUS network.
- Interfaces the RCU (Remote Controller Unit) with distributed RIO modules.
- Termination can be configured for different cable types; Kongsberg documentation describes 100 Ω for STP cable and 120 Ω for industrial cable.
- Uses 24 V DC for the SPBUS communication/power connection.
- The later BUS-Term module is backward-compatible with the original SPBUS-Term (600198) and adds RJ45 connectivity for newer RBUS installations.
Typical Applications
- Kongsberg K-Chief 700 automation systems
- DataChief / K-Chief remote I/O networks
- Engine-room automation
- Marine machinery monitoring and control
- SPBUS-connected RIO modules
- Replacement of obsolete or faulty SPBUS termination modules
