Segment and link planning considerations
ATTENTION
The segment and link planning considerations covered in the Experion PKS
Planning Guide
in Knowledge Builder also apply for ControlNet fiber media.
The following considerations are specifically related to using fiber media in a ControlNet
system. They are intended to supplement the ControlNet coax system considerations.
•
The total number of coax Repeaters and/or fiber optic Repeaters that can be connected
in series between
two
nodes is five (5) or less. The total number of repeaters includes:
−
Each coax Repeater used to connect one coax segment to another in the path.
−
Each Repeater/Fiber hub used to connect a coax segment to a fiber optic segment in
the path.
−
Each Fiber Module used to connect one fiber optic segment to another in the path.
•
The total length of ControlNet coax and fiber optic cable between any
two
nodes can
not
be more than
10
km (32,808 ft).
