OK I am laying out my first DNet system. I have 4 nodes within about 25' of each other. The nodes are robots. The controls for the robots are 480v so I have to have 600v rated cable.
The load on the cable will be 240ma plus whatever the 1769-SDN draws. So I was thinking of using thin cable because of it's flexibility. I am running into problems getting the cable. I can get the cable from my distributor the first week of May. The system has to be running the 2nd week in April. So anybody a source for cable or a better idea.
I plan on daisychaining the nodes.
Next problem I have only read about this problem for guys like Ken Roach. How do I leave a access port for the Guy that comes behind me to service this system? I have only ever used the passthru driver in RSLinx.
