○
Above drawing shows example of connecting 1 to 3 slave stations to a master station.
◇
Use cables with the same characteristic impedance for cables
①
to
③
.
- For slave station nos. 1 to 3, connect them dependently as shown in the drawing.
The same characteristic impedance cables are used for the connections between
the slave stations.
◇
Attach terminating resistor to both the master station side
①
and the farthest
②
ones among the
slave stations (no. 3).
◇
Make sure to select terminating resistor in order that the [Characteristic Impedance from cables
①
to
③
] = [Resistance Value of
①
] = [Resistance Value of
②
]
-
Furthermore, use characteristic impedance cable whose [Resistance Value of
①
] // [Resistance
Value of
②
] (parallel combination resistance value) becomes above 75-ohms.
◇
Use a shielded twisted pair cable.
