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.
