Segment cable length
2. Check that the segment cable length is not exceeded
The segment cable length is defined by the used cable cross-section and by the number of
nodes. Without repeaters the segment cable length corresponds to the total cable length.
[5-2] Segment cable length
3. Compare both values.
If the value determined from the Segment cable length
[5-2] table is smaller than the
required total cable length Total cable length
[5-1], repeaters must be used. Repeaters
divide the total cable length into segments.
Example: Selection help
Based on the given specifications, the following cable lengths/number of repeaters result for a
maximum of 63 nodes:

Note!
The use of an additional repeater is recommended as:
•Service interface
• Advantage: Trouble-free connecting during ongoing bus operation is possible.
• Calibration interface
• Advantage: Calibration/programming units remain electrically isolated.
