Voltage drop over long cable distances can prevent downstream devices from achieving the minimum operating voltage. For highly reactive control loops, avoid setting macrocycle execution times lower than the cumulative execution time of all configured function blocks on that physical segment.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"color: #2d3748; margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 0.5rem;\"\u003eCommissioning \u0026amp; Wiring Tips\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #2d3748; margin-bottom: 1rem; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\nAlways apply physical segment termination at both ends of the H1 network (typically one active terminator at the fieldbus power supply and one in the field junction box).
