AC500 Hardware
1-36 System
data
AC500 / Issued: 05.2007
With connecting the terminals 1-2 and 3-4, a pull-up and a pull-down resistor can be activated (see
chapter "Serial interface COM1” for details).
Wiring
Bus line
Construction
2 cores, twisted,
with
common
shield
Conductor cross section
> 0.22 mm² (24 AWG)
- recommendation
0.5 mm² corresponds to Ø 0.8 mm
Twisting rate
> 10 per meter (symmetrically twisted)
Core insulation
Polyethylene (PE)
Resistance per core
< 100
Ω
/km
Characteristic impedance
ca. 120
Ω
(100...150
Ω
)
Capacitance between the cores
< 55 nF/km (if higher, the max. bus length must
be reduced)
Terminating resistors
120
Ω
¼ W at both line ends
Commonly used telephone cables with PE
insulation and a core diameter of > 0.8 mm are
normally good.
Remarks
Cables with PVC core insulation and a core
diameter of 0.8 mm can be used up to a length of
ca. 250 m. In this case, the bus terminating
resistor is ca. 100
Ω
.
Bus topology
A CS31 system bus always contains only one bus master (CPU or coupler) which controls all actions on
the bus. Up to 31 slaves can be connected to the bus, e.g. remote modules or slave-configured CPUs.
Besides the wiring instructions shown below, the wiring and earthing instructions provided with the
descriptions of the modules are valid additionally.
