External Interconnect
The VM96 system supports a maximum of eight
Touch Tracker controllers (controller). Controllers
can attach in a variety of configurations, but must
follow all SensorNet configuration and termination
rules.
• A network link's maximum length is 1000m
(3300 feet).
• Each network link supports up to 32 devices
and up to four network branches.
• The VM96 console provides four SensorNet
links. SensorNet J-Boxes provide additional
links.
• Each Touch Tracker controller attaches to the
network via an External Interconnect Module
(EIM), which provides the controller with power
and network termination.
The guidelines included in this document provide
brief descriptions about how to implement
Enhanced Touch Trackers in a Backbone or Star
network. For detailed information about the various
network types and communication protocols, refer
to Communications Protocols & Cable
Networks (PN 8000-2573-19).
