layouts (max. node-to-node distance: 320 m, max. wire
length: 500 m)
NOTE:
In the event that the limit on the total wire length is
exceeded, then FTT physical layer repeaters
(FTT 10A) can be added to interconnect segments
and increase the overall length by an amount equal
to the original specification for that cable type and
bus type for each repeater used. For example,
adding repeaters for a doubly-terminated bus using
JY (St) Y 2x2x0.8 cable increases the maximum
length 3000 ft (900m) for each repeater.

Bus Termination Modules
Depending upon the configuration, either one or two
termination modules are required for terminating a
L

ORKS
bus with FTT devices on it. The following two
different L

ORKS
termination units are available for this
purpose:
