4.2 Information on the network architecture
Attention
Please note the following information intended to place emphasis on meas-
ures to be used to allow a reliable and trouble-free communication especially
in networks of the Lonworks technology.
•
Make sure that the specifications regarding transceiver, network topology,
network lengths and cable specifications etc. are adhered to.
•
Select the installation location of the components such that the ambient
temperature range tolerated by the components are observed and that any
heat produced can be dissipated.
•
Allow a 200 mm minimum spacing from high energy interference sources,
e. g. frequency changers.
•
Prior to connecting individual components, check whether the operating
voltage corresponds to the parameters on the machine type plate. Please
pay particular attention to the fact whether direct current and/or alternate
current supply is possible or whether a particular polarity of the supply
voltage has to be observed.
•
Mixing up the connections for data and current supply can lead to the de-
struction of components!
•
On the basis of the documentation supplied, please obtain information as to
which connections are coupled and/or what potential differences are per-
missible between connection points (e.g. signal mass, operating voltage).
•
Please note that the removal or addition of network components during the
running network operation implies risks relating to the data transmission
and destruction of components.
•
Should you fit coupling elements in the network, such as routers, repeaters,
etc., make sure prior to connecting these coupling elements that conflicts
are excluded.
