AS-i bus termination. Use at the end of the bus cable. Extends the cable length by a further 100 meters. Improves the AS-i messages by reducing reflections. One bus termination possible per master, one per repeater.

Bus termination

Special features of the units: For more explanations see the technical glossary chapter starting on page 256

Safe data transmission for extended installations Accessories and connectors AS-i is easy to use. This principle also applies to the bustermination. It can be mounted wherever the AS-i com- munication is affected by reflections. Reflections can occur when the yellow AS-i cable is considerably longer than 100 meters. A bus termination can be used to pre- vent these reflections. The optimum mounting position is the point as far as possible away from the AS-i power supply.With the bus termination cable lengths of up to 200 mcan be achieved. There are two possibilities to check the signal quality before and after installation of the bus ter- mination:1. via the diagnostic menu on the controller e. All repeatmessages are analysed and represented there, separately for each slave.2. with the eASi tester, a service unit which is connectedto the AS-i cable in parallel and evaluates the disturbed messages by PC and software.
