Coupler distances
Coupler distance - standard situation
The situation is standard if the segment length l
S
is much larger than the coupler distance D.
The prerequisite is that all segment sections are being fed - data communication is possible to each segment
section.
This is the case on the segment transition of two long segments.

TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS!
Information on the static case (standard)
In the static case (no movement), the distance of the mobile couplers to each other
must be
≥
D but min.
≥
321mm + x
LS
If the case is dynamic, (participants are moving), an additional distance factor has to be taken into consider-
ation. To do that, comply with the chart on the coupler clearance distances.
