NMEA 2000 - Network Construction

Network Construction

The NMEA 2000 network, like the SAE J1939 network on which it is based, is organized around a bus topology, and requires a single 120Ω termination resistor at each end of the bus. (The resistors are in parallel, so a properly terminated bus should have a total resistance of 60 ohms). The maximum distance for any device from the bus is six metres.

Famous quotes containing the words network and/or construction:

    “How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
    —Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)

    “There’s no art
    To find the mind’s construction in the face:
    He was a gentleman on whom I built
    An absolute trust.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
