MININET communication is only supported on serial devices. Serial communication can be operated as a point-to-point connection (RS232) or as a network connection (RS485).
MININET is a master/slave protocol where the PVI MININET line carries out the functions of the master. A multi-master function is not possible via the MININET protocol.
All necessary components are installed with PVI Setup.
The MININET line can be operated on the following platforms:

A maximum of 32 stations can be connected to a bus.
Executed as an RS485 twisted pair cable, shielded. Cross-section: min. 0.5 mm². Wave impedance: 120 ohms. Terminating resistor: 120 ohms on both ends. Length: maximum 1,200 meters. Maximum line resistance: 50 ohms per wire.
The cabling for the RS485 network can only be made using a bus structure. The bus connection can be made either directly or using a maximum 0,25 m long branch line.
