Functional principle
The REP-DN is a potted, fully connectorized
repeater. It is very rugged and can be mounted
directly on the machine. Network segments
attached together with a repeater are considered separate physical networks (trunk and
drop lengths for each segment are determined
as if the other segments are not there), but
one logical network (addresses cannot be duplicated - the scanner and configuration tools
work as a single network).
The repeater does not consume an address
and is invisible to all the other devices on the
network. The repeater does not have an EDS
file.
The REP-DN can be used to extend either the
Trunk or the Drop lines. It can also be used to
isolate power supplies on networks with multiple supplies.
There is no limit to the number of repeaters
that can be used on one network. When a
message is repeated a 2 millisecond delay is
