Hi,
We have encountered a very old system inside a cruise ship which has a Schneider Modicon FIP IO backbone inside.
Now, the owners want to replace the lighting system with DALI , but they don’t want to change any cabling and they want to use the old FIP IO backbone.
So, my question is , have you ever come accross this bus backbone before? If yes, how we can adapt the old system with our DALI and PFC100/PFC200 solution.
I have searched and find an Anybus Communicator from HMS, which is a serial master to FIP IO system. But, even if we use this serial master to FIP IO communicator, how should we handle the DALI cabling too?
I would like to ask our Norwegian colleauges or marine users, have you ever come accross with this FIPIO backbone before and how could you integrate it into our own controller system with a DALI master module?
Regards,
Basak
