Calculating length with known cable cross-section
The maximum cable length for a known cable cross-section
is calculated as follows:
l = Cable length in m
max
S = Cable cross-section in mm
r = Resistivity of copper, if not otherwise stated 0.018 Omm

Each easySafety device is provided on the front with a serial
multi-function interface. The interface is factory shipped
with a protective cover fitted. Remove this cover carefully.
The serial multi-function interface is used for:
• connecting the programming cable to the COM serial
interface on the PC and thus as a connection for the
configuration software easySoft-Safety ("PC interface"
function).
• the point-to-point connection between an MFD-CP4
(a AWB2528-1548) or MFD-CP8.. in terminal mode
(a page 527) and an easySafety device ("device
interface" function).
• the point-to-point communication between an MFD-CP8
in COM-LINK mode and an easySafety device ("device
interface" function). Information on the COM-Link
interface is provided in the manual for MFD-Titan,
AWB2580-1480.
• an easySafety memory card ("memory interface"
function).
The following shows the permissible programming cables for
connecting your easySafety device via the multi-function
interface.
