Higher cable cross-sectional areas may be necessary in the case of long lines, as voltage drops can
be expected.
5.2.4 RS485 network topology and termination principles
• Linear double terminated bus
• Linear double terminated cascade bus with S-Node G2 in the middle.
Star formation in the wiring from S-Node G2
• Two linear double terminated cascade buses on C-Node G2.
RS485 lines from C-Node G2 can have bus formation although wiring is performed as a star
network. This can be done by using two cable pairs for the bus, "RS485 out" and "RS485 in".
C-Node G2 can be equipped with an optional connection block for this, CG2-VDE
