Arrangement for transmitting data and supply voltage via a bus

Abstract

Abstract The devices (ST1, ST2 ... STn) of a bus system are in each case connected to the bus line (BL1, BL2) by means of a transformer (U1, U2 ... Un) which exhibits two windings (Wi1, Wi2) of the same number of turns which are connected with one of their connections to the bus line and with the other one of their connections to the series circuit of two capacitors (Ci1, Ci2) having identical capacitance. Data signals are coupled in and out via a third winding (Wi3). The supply voltages for the devices (ST1, ST2 ... STn) are supplied via the bus line (BL1, BL2) to the devices (ST1, ST2 ... STn) where they are picked up at the respected series circuit of the capacitors (Ci1, Ci2). The invention is used in the process equipment bus (field bus). <IMAGE>
