Checklist result
No contradiction found
- End terminations, entered of expected
- 2 of 2
- Polarisation locations entered
- 1 locations
- Signal common conductor
- Present
The entered topology passes these limited checks; verify every device manual and commission the actual bus.
Underlined figures are rounded. Select one to copy its full value.
Method and assumptions
Formula
2-wire trunk: two end terminations; 4-wire trunk: two terminations per balanced pair; polarization: one location when requiredWhether termination or polarization is required, built in or switchable remains device- and network-specific.
Limits of this result
- This does not calculate a resistor value or override the transceiver and device manufacturers’ instructions.
- Stubs, repeaters, isolation, grounding, shield treatment and surge environment still require a network design.
- A passed checklist does not prove signal integrity; commission with error counters and measurements appropriate to the fault.
