How many devices can I connect to a bus with the iLOQ N500 Net bridge?
iLOQ N500 Net bridge is the main controller for the bus and its devices. The Net bridge has one main bus that can be divided into 6 different branches. Start the branch directly from the connectors of the Net bridge.
The maximum number of devices connected to the bus depends on the power supply, the length of the branch cables, and the sum of the total power consumption of all the iLOQ devices in the same bus.
You can estimate the total power consumption by first calculating the sum of each branch separately and then adding the losses caused by all cable lengths.
