Bus cable:
Only cables according to the recommendations of EIA 485 standard should be used. A
maximum of 64 devices may be connected to one segment. The bus cable must be laid at
a distance of at least 20 cm from other cables. It should be laid in a separate, conductive,
and earthed cable trunking. It must be ensured that no potential differences occur between
the individual devices on the bus.
Cable specification:
Impedance: 135 -165 Ohm @ 3 to 20 Mhz
Cable capacity: < 30pF/m
Cable diameter: > 0.64 mm
Cross section: > 0.34 mm2, conforms to AWG 22
Loop resistance < 110 Ohm per km
Screening: Cu shielding braid or shielding braid and shielding foil
