4.6 A Closer Look at Crown

Bus Wiring

The

IQ–P.I.P.–SMT must be con-

nected to a Crown Bus loop having
an

IQ2-compatible IQ interface in or-

der for the

IQ System to control or

monitor it. The Crown Bus is a serial
communication loop designed to
transmit IQ commands and data. As
implemented in the

IQ–P.I.P.–SMT, it

is a 20 milliamp current loop operat-
ing at a BAUD rate of 38.4 K. The
loop must be unbroken.

If the system includes an

IQ–INT II

interface, it can accept eight different
Crown Bus loops or zones. Dividing
the sound system into different

zones, each with its own Crown Bus
loop, can have several advantages.
The following list contrasts those ad-
vantages with those of a single loop.

Multiloop Advantages

• A break in communication in

one loop does not affect
other loops.

• Over 250 IQ components of

the same type can be used in
a system.

• The same IQ address can be

used more than once (once
per loop per model).

Single Loop Advantages (with IQ-INT
II interfaces)

• The

IQ System can send and

retrieve data faster in a single
loop.

• “Real time” level display of a

greater number of units is
possible.

The

IQ–P.I.P.–SMT can be connected
