Calculation of the maximum available supply current I
When calculating the maximum available supply current it must be ensured that a min-
imum supply voltage of 9 V is applied at the field devices:
I

Observing the conditions stated, a supply current of I

is only 54 mA, from the point of view of the functional considerations proper functioning
of the segment is ensured.

Final consideration
From a purely functional point of view the bus segment shown in the example can be
operated based on the positive results. Further optimization of the network with a view
to connecting a greater number of field devices or realizing a longer line length can be
achieved by selecting the right fieldbus power supply and cable type.
