The architecture of the S900 is based on a FIP bus used to connect the different rack units. Each rack incorporates a power supply, a CPU, I/O and communication modules on a VMEbus. The primary rack handles the communication, process controls, peripheral devices, inputs/outputs and general automatic functions. The secondary racks manage the inputs/outputs and local automatic functions.
