... Cable lengths> 2 m from current collector to control Cable section: Data cable to conductor rails To connect the MAXO-RG-BSx rail bus module to the conductor rails, a two-pole cable with the lowest possible line capacity is required. Cable types The following cable types meet the requirements (example: Lapp cable).
Page 64
Cable section: Field bus The permissible cable length between two field bus devices (MAXO-RG-BSx, industrial PC, PLC) must not exceed 100 m. To connect field bus devices, only use Ethernet cables of min. Category 5 (CAT 5 see EN50173/ISO/IEC11801).
Page 65
At the other end of the rail bus segment, the bus is short-circuited. Directly on the rail bus master (MAXO-RG-BSx module) the current of the cable "CAN +" and the voltage between "CAN+" and "CAN-" are measured (with a current clamp) at the same time.
