Planning the Touch Tracker 
Network 

Figure 1: VM96 Equipment 

 

The VM96 system supports a maximum of eight 
Touch Tracker controllers (controller). Controllers 
can attach in a variety of configurations, but must 
follow all SensorNet configuration and termination 
rules. 

  A network link's maximum length is 1000m 

(3300 feet). 

  Each network link supports up to 32 devices 

and up to four network branches. 

  The VM96 console provides four SensorNet 

links. SensorNet J-Boxes provide additional 
links. 

  Each Touch Tracker controller attaches to the 

network via an External Interconnect Module 
(EIM), which provides the controller with power 
and network termination. 

The guidelines included in this document provide 
brief descriptions about how to implement 
Enhanced Touch Trackers in a Backbone or Star 
network. For detailed information about the various 
network types and communication protocols, refer 
to 

Communications Protocols & Cable 

Networks

 (PN 8000-2573-19).
