Wired System
Note 1. The maximum distance between nodes depends on the connector and ca-
ble processing methods.
2. At least one Repeater Unit is required to construct networks that uses a
node address higher than 32. The following Controller Link Units/Support
Boards must also be used, and the Wired Network 62 Node Enable Bit of
the DM Parameter Area software switch of all nodes must be turned ON
(62 nodes max.).
CS1W-CLK21-V1, CJ1W-CLK21-V1, and 3G8F7-CLK21-V1
3. 62,000 data link words applies to configurations of 62 nodes.
