Cable Requirements
SCANport cables are available in either Male to Male or Male to Female
configuration. Cables of up to 10 meters (33 feet) can be connected from
the master to the SCANport device (A in Figure 3.9). If a Port Expander is
used as shown in Figure 3.9, the cable length from the master to the Port
Expander must be subtracted from the cable length used to connect the
device to the expander (B1 + C = max 10 meters).
1305 Drive
An Allen-Bradley SCANport link cable is used to make the connection
between the Communications Module and the drive (Figure 3.9).
