Figure3.2: Diagram for determining the maximum achievable cable length: LSN improved elements with LSN 0300 A
L = cable length in meters
N = number of LSN improved elements
a = 1600 m limit
b = bus dynamic limit
c = maximum possible number of LSN improved elements = 254
d = 300mA limit
3.6 Achievable Cable Length with LSN1500A
The usable cable length depends essentially on the resistance of the cable and the quantity
and current consumption of the network elements.
The way in which the elements are distributed locally on the bus also makes a difference. The
possible cable length can be estimated using the formula below. This formula is also used in
the Planning Software by Bosch for fire alarm systems and is based on the critical application
situation where all network elements are concentrated at the end of the bus line. The
calculated cable lengths are therefore on the conservative side.
The diagrams on pages and can be used to make a quick estimate.
The following applies:
