    If possible, you can always choose a longer upstream length, as these are minimum values. The up- and downstream lengths are used industry wide as guidelines, but will never be a guarantee for obtaining the “true value”. © 2021 VPInstruments | MAN-VP-VP38-EN | Revision: 2100 | Date: 25-01-2021...

    Ohm's law can be used to calculate the maximum distance. There are 2 parameters that needs to be taken into account. 1. The voltage available is equal to the input voltage 2. The resistance depends on cable quality and length © 2021 VPInstruments | MAN-VP-VP38-EN | Revision: 2100 | Date: 25-01-2021...

    The cable length from the trunk line to the Modbus device needs to be as small as possible. Junction boxes are used to make the T junction. © 2021 VPInstruments | MAN-VP-VP38-EN | Revision: 2100 | Date: 25-01-2021...
  • Page 18 (typically, 120 ohms for twisted pairs). There can only be one termination resistor at the very end of the trunk line. The VPInstruments junction box features a jumper that can be used to enable a 120 Ohm resistor. When using the VPInstruments Modbus Junction boxes make sure that the 120 Ohm resistor is only enabled in the last Modbus Junction box in the daisy chain.
