Superloop segments in the IPE module
A superloop is made up of NT8D04 Superloop Network cards, NT8D01AC or
NT8D01BC Controller-4 or NT8D01AD Controller-2 cards, and from one to
eight IPE segments. The NT8D01BC Controller-4 replaces the NT8D01AC
and NT8D01AD Controller cards for replacements and new installations.
A number of superloop-to-segment configurations are possible:
• one segment per superloop requires four superloop network cards and
one controller-4 card
• two segments per superloop requires two superloop network cards and
one controller-2 card
• four segments per superloop requires one superloop network card and
one controller-2 card
• eight segments per superloop requires one superloop network card
and two controller-2 cards
• one segment per superloop/three segments on a second superloop
requires two superloop network cards and one controller-2 card
• two segments per superloop/six segments on a second superloop
requires two superloop network cards and two controller-2 cards
