HTotal Drop Line Length

The total drop line length is the total sum length of all the drop lines (but not including the trunk line). Do not exceed the maximum total drop line length (even when the length of each individual drop line is 6 m or less). The standard for the total drop line length varies with the baud rate as shown in the previous table.

HConfiguration Example

The following configuration example shows the maximum length of the Network, the drop line lengths, and the total drop line length.

Maximum Network Length

Drop Line Length

Total Drop Line Length

The longest distance between nodes is 48 m, and the distance between the two Terminating Resistors is 40 m. The maximum Network length is therefore 48 m.

There are four branch points in the trunk line. The length of each drop line is shown in the diagram. The maximum drop line length is 6 m.

The sum of all the drop lines is 40 m.

2-2-2 Locating Terminating Resistors

Be sure to connect the Terminating Resistors at both ends of the trunk line to reduce signal reflection and stabilize communications.

When there is a T-branch Tap 6 m or less from the end of the trunk line (or the node):

A Terminating Resistor attached to a T-branch Tap can easily be mounted without taking up much space.

When there is not a T-branch Tap 6 meters or less from the end of the trunk line (or the node):

A Terminating Resistor must be connected before that point. Either a T-branch Tap mounted to a Terminating Resistor or a terminal block with Terminating Resistor can be used. In this case, be sure to make the cable length 1 m or less from the node to the Terminating Resistor.
