6.5.2 Information about laying fiber-optic cable

To ensure the smooth transfer of data via the fiber-optic cable, you must en-
sure that mechanical loads are avoided when laying the fiber-optic cable and
later on during operation. Also observe the information from the manufac-
turer of the fiber-optic cable and the following instructions:
▪ Radii must not fall below the minimum permissible bend radii (do not bend
fiber-optic cable).
▪ The fiber-optic cables must not be over-stretched or crushed. Observe the
permissible load values.
▪ The fiber-optic cables must not be twisted.
▪ Be aware of sharp edges because they can damage the fiber-optic cable's
coating during laying or can place mechanical loads on the coating later
on.
▪ Provide a sufficient cable reserve near distributor cabinets. Lay the re-
serve such that the fiber-optic cable is neither bent nor twisted when tight-
ened.

6.5.3 Mounting terminating resistor of CAN bus

If you want to operate the device in parallel operation, you need to mount a
120 Ω terminating resistor at both ends of the CAN bus. Use the plug con-
nector with terminating resistor provided as an option.

6.5.4 Connecting cables to the system periphery

To obtain a better overview when connecting cables, only use as many
leads as necessary.
