n Cable lengths specified in this guide are absolute. When planning
for routing of cables and wires, be certain to include vertical and
horizontal routing within cabinets, raceways, and conduits.
n Minimize the length of I/O wiring. Racks and wiring should also be
located away from adverse environmental conditions such as
sources of RFI, EMI, and away from areas with high levels of
moisture, dust, and corrosive materials.
n For a Star network topology, a switch is required between the CPM
and multiple I/O rack.
n One fiber optical converter can be added to connect the switch
and a remote rack.
n For a Star network topology, a redundant switch is optional. The
I/O network is a private network and other devices including
health monitor application, must not connect to it, or it may result
in critical performance and security issues.
Fiber Optics Recommendations
Honeywell recommends to use the fiber optic cable for distances
longer than 100m. Equipment tested with the fiber optic cable is
listed in the following table:
