4.0 Six-Wire Bus
This section looks briefly at Readykey’s proprietary
communications link between controllers - the six
wire bus. In it, we’ll look at:
• Cable specifications for the six-wire bus.
• Possible configurations.
• Controller addressing.
The six-wire bus is Readykey's proprietary
communications link for locally connecting door
controllers. It uses up to 3000 ft. (1000 m) of
standard, unshielded signal cable to connect door
controllers. No single length of cable should be
longer than 1500 ft. (500 m).
4.1 Cable Specification
Readykey recommend that you use multi-stranded,
unshielded, 6/8-conductor 24 AWG (0.5 mm /
0.22mm²) alarm or signal cable. If you do use
shielded cable, you should reduce the maximum
distance by 2 to 3 times depending on the
capacitance of the cable.
This is a linear bus and, where possible, should be set
up as shown in the following diagram. The total
length of the bus should not exceed 3000 ft. (1000
m), and no single length should be longer than 1500
ft. (500 m).
Note:
Branches/spurs are allowed provided they are no longer
than 33 ft. (10 m) in length. The length of the spurs
should be included as part of the overall length. A
maximum of four spurs recommended.
