Bus device N4, by adhering to the max. allowed distance of 700 m between bus
devices, cannot be integrated in the bus if bus device N3 is integrated with a loop
(instead of subline).
If a max. distance of 350 m is kept between the centralized bus supply PSU and
the bus device (without bus supply), the bus supply must be placed at location 150
m / 250 m on the line distance 400 m.
