| Interbus Input Module Preparation |
Cables, Cables and more Cables. The next few weeks are going to be filled with lots of postings on the digital cabling process of the L-1011 Trainer at the museum. The digital cabling connects all of the hundreds of trainer switches and lights to the computers. Today, I started building out the first of many digital input modules for the simulator. As described in a few earlier postings, I will be using a PLC system based on Interbus for the switch input and for the annunciator and switch light output on the L-1011 trainer.

| interbus 8-bit Switch Input |
Each of the digital input (DI) modules has 32 inputs that are arranged in 8 channels + 1 GND signal per group. The image above shows the 8 digital input lines that will be coming from switches. Each cable represents a bit and together each connector represents one Byte of information on the Interbus.
