Simple configuration
All the descriptions and operating instructions for SIMATIC NET bus components contain
information about the distances that can be covered with the multimode fibers described
above. You can configure your optical network without complicated calculations using simple
limit values (refer to Section "
Network configuration (Page 41)").
Guidelines for laying cables
You will find information about laying SIMATIC NET glass multimode fiberoptic cables in
Appendix "
Installing bus cables (Page 259)" in this manual.
