When planning segments for transmission rates from 3 Mbps to a maximum of 12
Mbps, the following factors must be taken into account:
S To attach DTEs to bus segments, only the bus connectors permitted for 12
Mbps or the BT12M bus terminal can be used.
S The maximum length of a segment must not exceed 100 m.
S The maximum number of bus attachments (nodes, OLMs, RS-485 repeaters,...)
in one segment is restricted to 32.
S To attach a programming device or PC via a tap line, only the SIMATIC S5/S7
connecting cable, 12 Mbps, order no. 6ES7901-4BD00-0XA0 can be used.
Note
If several bus connectors are used at electrically short distances (in other words,
the cable length between adjacent connectors is less than 1 m) (for example,
several slaves in one cubicle), avoid disconnecting several bus connectors at the
same time for longer periods. Disconnecting more than one bus connector does
not necessarily mean errors but may well reduce the reliability (immunity to noise)
of a segment.
