2-Wire Station Bus Wiring
The 2-Wire CueStation Bus uses a 2-conductor 16AWG or 18AWG cable (see 2-Wire Specification Sheet for details) to carry both
power and data to and from each station location. The network is both topology free (meaning a random combination of “star” and
“daisy-chain” connections may be used) and polarity free (meaning it does not matter if the conductors are reversed at any station).
A maximum of ten (10) 2-Wire stations can be connected to a single CueStation Hub. The maximum distance from the Hub to the
farthest 2-Wire Station is 500 feet (150m).
2-Wire Station Bus Wiring Example
For more information about 2-Wire station configuration and wiring, please refer to 2-Wire CueStation Specification Sheet
document.
RS-485 Port
The terminal block port marked “RS-485” is not used at this time. Do not connect anything to this port.
Configuring Stations
Each station must be configured by setting a series of DIP Switches on the back of the station. These switches set various options as well
as assign the station address. Each station connected to the same hub must be given a unique station address.
Please refer to the specific 2-Wire or 5-Wire CueStation Specification Sheets for information on how to set the DIP Switches on each
station.
