8.2.5 Connect the sensors to the control unit
Note: the maximum length of the CAN bus line from the control unit to the last sensor in the chain is 30 m.
Note: when replacing a sensor, in the Inxpect Safety application, click APPLY CHANGES to confirm the change.
1. Decide if the control unit will be positioned at the end of the chain or inside it (see "Chain examples"
below).
2. Set the DIP switch of the control unit based on its position in the chain.
3. Connect the desired sensor directly to the control unit.
4. To connect another sensor, connect it to the last sensor in the chain or directly to the control unit to
start a second chain.
5. Repeat step 4 for all the sensors to be installed.
6. Insert the bus terminator (product code: 07000003), into the free connector of the last sensor of the
chain(s).
