Consider the use of repeaters
Conclusion:
 A cable length of 450 m is not possible without installing a repeater.
 After 360 m (step 2), a repeater must be installed.
Result:
 The Lenze repeater, type 2176 (cable reduction: 30 m), is used
 Calculation of the max. cable length:
– First segment: 360 m
– Second segment: 360 m (according to the table
Segment cable length [5-2]
( 27)
)
minus 30 m (cable reduction when a repeater is used)
 Max. possible cable length with one repeater: 690 m
– Now the required cable length is possible.

Note!
The use of an additional repeater is recommended as:
• Service interface
– Advantage: Trouble-free connecting during ongoing bus operation is
possible.
• Calibration interface
– Advantage: Calibration/programming units remain electrically isolated.
Given
• Baud rate:
125 kbps
• Cable cross-section: 0.5 mm 2
• Number of nodes: 28
• Cable length: 450 m
Steps Cable length See

3 Comparison: The value determined in
step 2 is smaller than the required cable
length of 450 m.
