Example: 16 Units at the Maximum in Separate Buildings
- Smaller companies with up to 15 machines and one M1.
- The M1 and the knitting machines are located in separate buildings.
Components needed:
- HUB 16x RJ45
- up to 15 x TRANSCEIVER 210TS - RJ45, according to the control unit type of the CMS TC
- STP cable 100BASE T RJ45
- 2 x media converter
- 1 x LWL fiber optic cable of the appropriate length
Special features:
A media converter is used to switch from UTP cable as transmission medium to LWL (fiber optic cable). In the factory building, which is linked to the pattern preparation building with a fiber optic cable (LWL). A second media converter reconverts the LWS transmission medium to UTP there. This avoids any problems by different potentials.
Cascading (sequential switching) of multiple hubs can be used to network more than 16 units.
Example: 2 hubs = 31 units
