One or more NDBU-95 devices (DDCS branching unit) are used to distribute the DDCS telegrams. 8 drives can be connected to each NDBU-95. Up to 16 NDBU-95 devices can be cascaded.

The device ibaBM-DDCS must be connected via a unidirectional FO cable to the NDBU-95 that is also connected to the controller. To monitor all telegrams, including the response telegrams from the drives, this NDBU-95 must be operated in “REGEN” mode.
