Due to its small gauge, the EIA-485 cable has a length limitation of 304.8 meters (1000 feet). This is the maximum length that can be used between the NION and the last xControl LCD device in the daisy chain. If a longer cable is used, it is likely to cause power drop and stop the devices at the end of the daisy chain working.
Here is an example showing the NION positioned at the end of the daisy chain.
If the NION is positioned in the middle of the daisy chain, double the length of cable (and number of devices) can be used.
Tip: If a longer cable length is required, larger gauge cable can be used, or power can be applied directly to the daisy chain, supplementing the power available from the NION.
