Figure 4 - Extended Data Network
The interface can accommodate up to 100 actuator controllers if RS485 repeaters are used. A
typical repeater is the Phoenix Contact Part No. 2744429 optical isolated repeater. Up to 30
controllers can be on a single network segment (31 for the end of line). Using repeaters, a
linear network as shown above, or various forms of star or tee networks can be deployed as
required. The start of a branch on either a star or tee network must always begin with a
repeater.

A network expansion RS232 port is also provided. This port can connect directly to repeaters or
fiber-optic cable drivers. Controllers can be connected to both the standard RS485 port and the
expansion RS232 port. The port is designated J1 and is a female DB9 connector. It is wired
DTE.
