5.2.3.3 Checking the use of repeaters
Compare the values derived from tables Total cable length ( 22) and Segment cable length ( 23) .
• If the sum of the segment cable lengths is smaller than the total cable length to be
implemented, either repeaters must be used or the cable cross-section must be increased.
• If the use of repeaters reduces the max. possible total cable length so much that it is smaller
than the total cable length to be implemented, the cable cross-section must be increased or
fewer repeaters must be used, or the baud rate must be decreased.
• The use of a further repeater is recommended as ...
•service interface
Advantage: trouble-free connection during bus operation is possible.
• calibration interface
Advantage: the calibration/programming unit remains electrically isolated.
Example
Given
Total cable length to be
implemented
450 m
Number of nodes 32
Cable cross-section 0.50 mm
2
(AWG 20)
Baud rate 125 kbit/s
Repeater used Lenze repeater EMF2176IB
Reduction of the max. total cable
length per repeater (EMF2176IB)
30 m
Results
Max. possible total cable length 600 m
(see table Total cable length
( 22))
Max. segment cable length 360 m
(see table Segment cable length
( 23))
Comparison The max. segment cable length is smaller than the total cable length to be
implemented.
Conclusion A repeater must be installed at the determined max. segment cable length
of 360 m.
Results with 1 repeater
Max. possible total cable length 570 m
(Reduction of the Total cable length
( 22) by 30 m)
Sum of the segment cable lengths 720 m
Comparison Both the possible total cable length and the segment cable lengths are larger
than the total cable length to be implemented.
Conclusion 1 repeater is sufficient to implement the total cable length of 450 m.
