–
A bus system consists of a bus line and/or one or more
branch lines.
–
Cable lengths exceeding 100m or 300ft must be installed
as bus lines.
–
Branch lines are branching connections from a bus line.
–
Peripheral devices are AMC2 4W which are connected to
the host computer.
–
Maximum cable length of a bus line must not exceed
1200m or 4000ft.
–
The cable length of branch lines must not exceed 100m or
300ft.
–
Any bus line conductor connects up to eight AMC2 4W. The
maximum number of devices must not be exceeded.
–
For longer bus lines connect the AMC2 4W to multiple
AMC-MUX (-EXT) with the host.
To use RS-485 mode at the AMC2 4W, connect the data cables
to the pluggable screw connector of the RS-485 host interface.
Set the connection mode of the RS-485 using the DIL switch of
the AMC-MUX. Then set the RS-485 address via DIL switch or
software and activate the RS-485 two-wire or four-wire mode
via jumper settings on the AMC - see

sions you can’t connect more than eight AMC2 4W.
To get more information about the AMC-MUX and the extension
