Bus structure
• All devices are connected in a bus structure (line) and
each device has its own address within the bus (also
see programming parameters).
• Up to 32 stations can be interconnected in one
segment.
• The cable is terminated with resistors (bus termination,
120 ohm 1/4 W) at the beginning and end of a segment.
• If there are more than 32 stations, repeaters (line
amplifiers) must be used in order to connect
the individual segments.
• Devices with activated bus termination must
be supplied with power.
• It is recommended to set the master at the end
of a segment.
• The bus is inoperative if the master is replaced with
an activated bus termination.
• The bus can become unstable if the slave is replaced
with an activated bus termination or is dead.
• Devices that are not involved in the bus termination
can be exchanged without making the bus unstable.
