Solutions with #distribution #boxes without Bus in many cases may be more advantageous, for example when they have circuits with special connections or when they contain electronic circuits dedicated to specific applications.
Disadvantages of the distribution boxes with Bus:
- complex circuits which require qualified technicians
- higher price
- equipments for control tests are expensive
- generally slower reaction times
- devices like sensors or actuators have different versions for each bus standard on the market: selection and availability are more difficult
- one or more Bus systems can prevail in the future and others may become obsolete: the risk to invest in the choice of a Bus system increases.
Advantages of the distribution boxes with special circuits:
- Modular system: several boxes shapes already available
- It is possible to combine from 2 to 15 female sockets or male plugs on the same box
- It is possible to integrate any electronic circuit: series or parallel connections, AND / OR, special connections with or without components of any type
- If necessary you can also add DIP switches, buttons and electronic displays
- It is possible to include a Push-pull control connector guaranteed for 5000 connections cycles (ODU, LEMO, FISCHER), useful for applications on devices which need to be changed frequently.
Customized distribution box can be alternative or integrative to BUS applications
Shield: connectors, cable, distribution box and wiring.
