RS485 limits and network design
As described in the PROFIBUS RS485 specification, each bus segment can have a
maximum of 32 active devices. In order to be able to connect a larger number of
PROFIBUS DP devices, it is necessary to segment the bus. The segments are then
interconnected with repeaters which amplify and refresh the data signals. Repeaters
can also be used for galvanic isolation of bus segments or bus sections. Each
repeater allows the PROFIBUS system to be extended by an additional bus segment
with the maximum admissible cable length and the maximum number of fieldbus
devices. Repeaters increase the signal propagation times. This should be taken into
account during planning.
