• a cable – Shielded Twisted Pair with terminating resistors or Fibre Optic with Optical Link Modules • a GSD file for each device. (A simple ASCII text file containing device data like identification info, what transmission speeds are supported, data format, time required to respond etc.) • a software configuration tool. This configures the active stations and tells them what devices are present on the bus and how much data it needs to exchange with them etc. is required.
