EQ2400NE

EQ2400NE Network Extender (Spec Sheet: 90-1132) expands the capabilities of the Eagle Quantum Premier system by allowing additional nodes as well as additional wiring to be added to the LON communication loop. Without a network extender, the communication network is limited to 60 nodes on a 2,000 meter loop. Each network extender increases the capacity of the loop by 40 nodes and an additional 2,000 meters of wiring. The maximum system size is 246 field nodes and 10,000 meters of wiring. To ensure optimum performance, it is important to distribute the network extenders along the loop so that no more than 40 nodes or 2,000 meters of wiring are on either side of a network extender.

Network extender circuitry supports communication in both directions. If a network fault should occur, uninterrupted communication can continue in the opposite direction.

• Increases network capacity by 40 nodes per unit (system maximum = 246)
• Each extender increases wiring length by 2,000 meters
• Visual indication of network traffic
• Up to 6 extenders can be added per system
