CANopen system
Figure 8: CANopen bus network
Note! Eltorque recommends a maximum of 80 nodes on 500 m/1660 ft. cable.
Note! The cable between the nodes can be maximum 500m with the Eltorque Hybrid
Marine Cable. For other lengths check with your local Eltorque representative.

Shield
EMC glands are not mandatory but is recommended in case
the actuator is placed in conjunction with equipment
emitting high levels of disturbances.
Termination resistor Nominal 120 Ω Both ends must be connected. Internal
resistors are recommended used. For ordering information
see Chapter 8 on page 55.
Analog systems
For the analog interface, both the input and the outputs are passive. Analog has
two outputs. One Alarm output and one Position output (4 to 20 mA) (see
Table 7 for details).
