232 Programmable Controllers
Specifications for Networks Using Repeaters
Note: 1. Specifications for each segment are the same as for Wired Controller Link networks.
2. Maximum transmission distance: Total wired cable length between the two nodes separated by the longest total wired cable length.
3. Maximum number of Repeater levels: Maximum number of Repeaters in a path linking any two nodes. For optical ring types, one set of
two Units comprises one level.
