SPECIFICATIONS for S9574
General     CE conforms to EMC Directive 89/336/EEC amended by 93/68/EEC, and also with the Low Voltage Directive 72/23/EEC
Safety:     EN60950
EMC emissions:     EN55022:1995 Class A
EMC immunity:     EN50082-2 Industrial environment
Operating temperature:   0 to +60°C
Storage:     –40 to +85°C
Supply voltage: 120V nominal:   92-132V RMS 50/60Hz
  230V nominal:   184-264V RMS 50/60Hz
Input power:     0.5A @ 120V
      0.25A @ 230V
Isolation:     Individual transformer isolation on each ALIN port; note that the cable screens should be connected to chassis via shielded connector to ensure EMC conformance

Node capacity and cable lengths
  Cable Connector Length/Segment Notes
Twisted-pair bus: Cat 5 (shielded) RJ451 100m 8 nodes max
Glass fibre-optic: 50/1252 SMA or ST 915m Point to point pair
  62.5/125 SMA or ST 1825m Point to point pair
  100/140 SMA or ST 2740m Point to point pair
Notes: 1.   RJ11 on Mod-hub
  2.   62.5/125 cable generally preferred

Basic ALIN specifications
Data rate:     2.5Mb/s
Access method:     Token passing
Max node addresses/network:   254
Max electrical nodes per drop:   Up to 16, 8 if connected to a Mod-hub
Max distance:     5000m approx (with fibre-optic cable and repeaters)
Note: The total combined transmission distance using fibre-optic cable and multiple hubs depends on the signal propagation delay along the transmission media.

Propagation delays
Max one-way delay for ALIN segment:   31μs
Active-hub:     0.25μs
Cat 5 cable:     5.7ns/m
Fibre-optic cable:     5ns/m
