2. Procedure
Request characteristic impedance of the cable from manufacturer (45Ω ... 200Ω)
Select the value of the Ri the same as the value of the cable characteristic im-
pedance and insert the four end-of-line resistors on the p.c.b.
Insert two driver resistors Rd = Ri x 3.65 on the p.c.b.
Each C-Bus user must be adapted
If only the inductance and the capacitance are known for a cable, the impedance
can be calculated with the aid of the following formula:
Zc =
Lc
Cc
Zc:
Cable impedance [Ω]
Lc:
Cable inductance [µH]
Cc:
Cable capacitance [µF]
3. Mixing of different types of cable
In a C-Bus loop (or stub line) only one type of cable may be used.
4. Operation as a stub line
If the C-Bus is operated as a stub line, two end-of-line resistors (values as for Ri)
must be inserted externally at both ends of the line (default 110Ω). In the choice of
other cables the above rules apply (the Ri are in this case the external end-of-line
resistors).
