If the master is located within the bus line, it does not need a terminating resistor. The pull-up and the
pull-down resistors, however, are necessary (see the following drawing).

Attention:
If the bus is operated with several masters, the pull-up and pull-down resistors may
only be installed at one master.
The cable shields must be earthed (refer to the chapter "CS31 system bus" of the AC500 system data.
