Cable Lengths

The maximum possible cable length of a CANopenâ network depends on the baud rate (transmission rate).

Maximum cable length within a CANopenâ field bus:
Bit rate (speed) Bus length
1 Mbit/s 30 m
800 kbit/s 50 m
500 kbit/s 100 m
250 kbit/s 250 m
125 kbit/s 500 m
62.5 kbit/s 1000 m
20 kbit/s 2500 m
10 kbit/s 5000 m

Caution

:strong:Risk of damaging the PLC modules!

The PLC modules must not be removed when the plant is powered on.

Make sure that all voltage sources (supply and process voltage) are switched off before you are removing or replacing a module.

Caution

:strong:Risk of damaging the PLC modules!

The PLC modules can be damaged by overvoltages and short circuits.

Make sure that all voltage sources (supply and process voltage) are switched off before you are beginning with operations at the system.

Note

For the open-circuit detection (cut wire), each channel is pulled up to supply voltage by a high-resistance resistor. If nothing is connected, the maximum voltage will be read in then.

Note

Analog signals are always laid in shielded cables to avoid imprecise and faulty measurements. The cable shields are earthed at both ends of the cables. In order to avoid unacceptable potential differences between different parts of the installation, low resistance equipotential bonding conductors must be laid.

For simple applications (low electromagnetic disturbances, no high requirement on precision), the shielding can also be omitted.
