The following values must be taken into account for the maximum cable length
between a MICROMASTER and a CANopen-Master with the same values:
CAN interface chip = T
CAN
= In+out 26 ns
Line driver = T
Transceiver
(Tx) = 80 ns
Line driver = T
Transceiver
(Rx) = 150 ns
Opto-coupler = T
Optocouler
= 40 ns
Cable time lag = T
Ltg
= 5 ns/m
Signal propagation time = 0,85
.

(The value 0.85 is permanently set in the MICROMASTER)
This produces the following equation:
