(Original Document)
General points
The figure below summarizes the maximum distances authorized for the different bus X segments and bus X extensions:
Illustration:
Taking this into account, the maximum distance possible between the processor and the remote modules is 350 meters.
This distance of 350 meters is only possible for single discrete input/output modules. The following illustrations indicate the restrictions in relation to module type.
NOTE: Extension is prohibited for communication modules TSX SCY •••/TSX ETY•••/TSX IBY •••/TSX PBY •••. These modules must be located on the main segment of the bus X1
Safety and single discrete I/O modules

  • TSX DEY 16 FK with PV index≥ 06,
  • TSX DMY 28FK / 28RFK,
  • TSX AEY 810/1614,
  • TSX ASY 410 with PV index ≥ 11,
  • TSX ASY 800,
  • TSX CTY 2C
  • TSX CAY 22/42/33,
maximum distance authorized (extension cable and bus X cable length): 225 meters.
Communication modules
CAUTION
UNEXPECTED APPLICATION BEHAVIOR
The following modules must be located on the main bus X segment.
  • TSX SCY... communication
  • TSX ETY... network
  • TSX IBY... /TSX PBY field bus
Do not locate them on bus X extensions
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
