Technical note bus cables
chainflex® bus cables are specially developed and tested for continuous use in e-chains® applications. Depending on the used outer jacket material and the design principle, the bus cables are designed for different mechanical requirements and media resistances. The electrical design is selected in such a way that, on the one hand, the electrical properties of the respective bus specification are reliably fulfilled, and the greatest importance is also placed on high EMC safety. A permanent stability of the electrical values despite permanent movement is also ensured. However, the entire transmission property in a complete bus communication system is not exclusively dependent on the cable used. Rather, it requires an exact coordination of all components (electronic components, connection technology and cable) as well as the consideration of the maximum transmission rates which are dependent on the respective systems in relation to the required data transmission rates. A cable is therefore not solely responsible for the secure transmission of the signals. igus® advises you in the design of the appropriate bus system, taking into account all these factors and carrying out extensive tests to ensure the process reliability of your system from the start.
