Addressable Device Circuit Wire Selection Guide
Each addressable device circuit must meet the following requirements:
Total loop resistance – 50 Ohm maximum with 50 devices
Total loop capacitance - 0.5 uF max line to line per km and 1.0 uF max line to shield per km
Note:
• The terminal blocks of Siemens SLC devices are rated for a maximum of 14AWG wire.
