Bus cable length
Depending on the baud rate and the cable type used (thick cable/thin cable), the following
bus cable lengths are possible:
Baud rate [kbps]
125
250
500
If both thick and thin cable types are used, the maximum cable lengths can be defined
according to the baud rates as follows:
Baud rate [kbps]
125
250
500

Note!
Select a baud rate in dependency of the data volume, cycle time and number
of nodes just high enough to suit your application.
