E.1 Basic Network Layout
Daisychain
The last module of a segment is a repeater. It is directly connected to
the main-wires thereby ending the first segment and starting the next
segment. Up to 32 addressable modules can be diasychained . This
limitation is a physical one. When using more modules per segment the
IC driver current rapidly decreases, causing communication errors.
Totally the network can hold up to 256 addressable modules. The
limitation for this number is the two number hexadecimal address codes
that knows 256 combinations. The
MIR
converter, M
IR
repeaters
and the host computer are non addressable units and therefore are not
included in these numbers.
