Fieldbus wiring selection and calculation
The preferred cable for connecting fieldbus devices is #18 AWG (0.8mm
twisted pair wire. It is important to calculate how the planned topology for your fieldbus
segment, selected wiring, supplied power and intended mix of fieldbus devices may
impact the overall performance of a fieldbus network.
Honeywell offers a tool called the Fieldbus Wiring Calculator to assist users in
calculating the performance characteristics of a planned fieldbus segment. You only have
to visit our website
Fieldbus Wiring Calculator tool.
You may also want to visit the Relcom Inc. website
information on available fieldbus wiring products and more wiring design and
installation data. They also offer a free Fieldbus Wiring Design and Installation Guide for
downloading.
