8.6.5 PROPER DSAI INST ALLA TIONS Here are some examples of DSAi installations that will work reliably , both avoiding loops and keeping EIA- 485 running well. These can be used as a basis for lar ger and more complex installations. EXAMPLE 1: This is a simple EIA-485 network connected directly from the PC, which runs DSAPilot, to DSAi "A"[...]

EXAMPLE 3: Should you be working with a CobraNet Audio source that does not support the serial bridge feature, you can follow this next connection scheme. The DSAPilot PC is connected to DSAi module "A" using an EIA-485 link. "A" communicates the data to the other modules over the CobraNet serial bridge through DSAi module "[...]

EXAMPLE 1: (no figure shown) One cabling configuration that you should NEVER make is to daisy-chain the EIA-485 cabling from module to module then home run a cable from the last module back to the PC to create a closed loop. This may seem like a good idea because, if there is a break anywhere in the cable, there will still be a connection back to t[...]

EXAMPLE 4: Looping occurs between both the Link and CobraNet connections. 8.6.7 A V OIDING STUBS AND CORRECT 120 OHM TERMINA TION A long stub or branch off of an EIA-485 bus can cause a significant impedance mismatch and thus reflections and degradation of the computer control signals. Stubs of several feet / 1 m or more are considered "long.&[...]
