QUICK TIP- 

This arrangement improves immunity to electromagnetic disturbances because the cable 

forms a series of successive coils, each of which faces in the opposite direction to the next one: in 
this manner any magnetic field in the environment traverses each pair of coils in opposite directions 
and its effect is thus very reduced (theoretically, the effect on each coil is exactly the opposite of the 
effect on the next one and thus the effect is cancelled). 
 

Wiring characteristics: 

 

0.22

0.5 mm2 for runs up to 300 meters 

 

0.5

0.75 mm2 for runs up to 1200 meters 

 

Characteristic impedance: 120 Ohm +/- 10%; 

 

Use Shielded twisted-pair cable if the bus cable exceeds 3m. 

 

Each shield must be grounded at one side only 

 

Overvoltage/overcurrent transient protection should be provided
