Supposable Bus Cable
the cable used to interconnect the FF-devices needs to comply with the following parameters:
loop resistance R’: 15...150 Ω/km
inductance per unit length Lc: 0.4...1 mH/km
capacitance per unit length Cc: 80...200 nF/km
C’ = C’ line/line + 0.5 C’ line/screen, if both lines are floating
or
C’ = C’ line/line + C’ line/screen, if the screen is connected to one line
length of spur cable: max. 30 m (IIC and IIB )
length of trunk cable: max. 1 km (IIC) or 5 km (IIB)
Terminators
the terminator must be certified by a notified body as FISCo model and at each end of the trunk cable an
approved line terminator with the following parameters is suitable:
R = 90...100 Ω
C = 0...2.2 µF (0.8 ... 1.2 µF is required in operation)
the resistor must be infallible according to IEC 60079-11.
Number of devices
the number of devices (max. 32) possible on a fieldbus link depends on factors such as the power con-
sumption of each device, the type of cable used, use of repeaters, etc.
