Termination For Devicenet Systems; Network Topology Of A Devicenet System - Burkert 8631 Operating Instructions Manual

Termination for DeviceNet systems

On installation of a DeviceNet system, care must be taken to terminate the data lines correctly. The
termination avoids disturbances by signal reflections on the data lines. For this purpose, the trunk line
must be terminated at both ends, as shown, by resistors of 120 Ω and 1/4 W power dissipation.
