Distance between SmartMotor and Controller

What are the maximum recommended distance between SmartMotor and the computer/controller for communication through RS232, RS485, AniLink, and I/O connector?

This question is difficult to answer because so many factors are involved. In most instances, we quote 30 feet (10 meters) for RS232, 1000 feet for RS485, 10 feet (3 metres) for AniLink, and 3 feet for I/O connector. (The 10PWR105 used for powering AniLink devices allows the addition of multiple motors to the network but does not increase separation.)
