Hello,
the plan is...
Smart Shunt and Blue Smart IP 22 connected to Cerbo GX and GX Touch 50 ...
What are the maximum cable length between the devices connected to Cerbo GX?
What are the maximum cable length between Cerbo GX and GX Touch 50?
Your answer will give me an idea where the Cerbo GX should be installed.
;-)
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Jens
Cerbo GX and GX Touch uses HDMI for display and USB for the touchpanel. For HDMI +/- 15 meters is the maximum (depending on cable quality and interference). I believe USB has a maximum of 5 meters, but can be extended using powered USB extenders.
Honestly.. I bought a GX Touch.. Hooked it up for 5 minutes till I got VRM working, and it has been sitting in it's shipping box since then. You can live without it if you have permanent Internet access.
VE.Direct max. length is 10 meters.
if you are in the diy scene : you can expand VE.Direct to more than 100m using a Max490 Adapter.
VE-Direct is just normal RS232.

VE.Direct is NOT RS232! Do not present RS232 signal levels to a VE.Direct device.
VE.Direct is TTL 5V or TTL 3.3V for BMV / Smart shunt devices
