Note
The slot time calculation takes into account only the optical network and the
attachment of nodes to the OLM in each case via a maximum 20 m long RS-485
bus segment. Longer RS-485 bus segments must be included by adding them to
the length
FOC
.
With the OLM/G11-1300 and OLM/G12-1300, the minimum slot times shown in the
following table must be maintained at transmission rates of 12 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 3
Mbps and 1.5 Mbps.

When configuring the slot time, use the minimum slot time as shown in Table 3-11
if the calculated slot time is less than the minimum slot time.
Note
If the slot time is configured with a value that is too low, this can lead to
malfunctions and error displays on the OLM. The system LED flashes red/green.
