○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.
