Note: For high noise environments, we recommend that the network
connections be made using a “Daisy Chain” topology as shown
above.
Type A Cable
You must use a shielded twisted pair cable for all network
connections. We recommend that you use Belden cable 3079A (for
baud rates up to 1.5M bits/sec). The maximum cable length depends
upon the baud rate, see table on page 5. The maximum number of
devices on the same network segment is 32 (126 with repeaters).
Type A Cable Connectors
We recommend that you use one of the following connectors when
creating a communication cable for the PanelView terminal. These
connectors are compatible with the female 9 pin D-Sub connector on
the back of the PanelView.

•
Siemens 6ES7 922-0BB00-0XA0 (Straight Connector)
Note: Other cables and connectors of equivalent or greater
functionality may be available from other sources.
