4.2.1.3 Maximum Bus Length
In the following table, the permitted cable length is represented in dependence of the Baud
rate. Here, a differentiation is made between the maximum length for a transmission using a
thick and a thin cable.

Tab. 4-1: Maximum bus length dependent on the set Baud rate
When specifying the maximum cable lengths, it is made sure that communica-
tion is possible between two nodes located at maximum distance to each other
(worst case).
4.2.2 Cabling
The connection of a WAGO fieldbus node to the DeviceNet bus cable is made
by the supplied 5-pole plug (Multi Connector 231).

Fig. 4-1: Plug assignment for the fieldbus connection
For wiring using a screened cable, the plus is assigned the connections V+, V-
for the voltage supply and with CAN_High, CAN_Low for data transmission.
The 24 V field bus supply is fed by an external fieldbus network power sup-
ply.
