• If maximum transfer distan ce and maximum transfer speed is needed,
shielded and twisted pair cable should be used. The mutual capacitance
may not exceed 52.5 pF/m, and the cable area should be at least 0.25 mm
2
(AWG 24).
• 0 V, the reference voltage for communication should be included in
the cabling. With two-way communication use two pairs; one pair for
communication and one pair for 0 V.
• The shield mus t be grounded at one end. The other end is usually grounded,
but with longer distances or when there is a difference in the ground potential,
theshieldshouldbeconnectedtothegroundvia0.1μF/250Vplastic
capacitor to prevent ground current in the braided shield. A number of
manufacturers recommend that the shield be g rounded at each node. Various
manufacturers have different systems for bus termination.
Depending on the recipients’ design, the bus wires may be on the same level or
require pull-up or pull-down to ensure that no faulty signals are detected w hen the
bus is in resting mode (all transmitters are disconnected).
