Connecting the Data Cable of the Multicluster-Box

Qualified person

For a multicluster system, the Multicluster-Box communicates with the master of the main cluster via a black data cable (see Multicluster-Box documentation). The black data cable is part of the scope of delivery of the Multicluster-Box.

Requirements:

  • The total length of the communication bus must not exceed 30 m. Keep in mind that the communication bus possibly connects several nodes.

Cable requirements:

  • Classification: CAT5e

  • Type of plug: RJ45

Procedure:

  1. Plug the black data cable into a free pin connector ComSync on the Sunny Island ( > Connecting the Data Cable).
  2. Connect the other end of the black data cable to the Multicluster-Box (see Multicluster-Box documentation).
  3. Ensure that the communication bus is closed at each end, e.g. with a terminator.
