Application
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to plan the electrical installation of integrated system. It includes implementing integrated system scenario and installation by determining bus system parameters, topology and installation requirements, bus system cables and terminations, control and dimming methods; and planning and documenting integrated installation plan. A network topology is the arrangement of a network, including its nodes and connecting lines. In a bus network topology, every workstation is connected to a main cable called the bus. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. |
