RS-485 Connections For Multiple Drives
ZIPLink™ RS-485 communication boards (ZL-CDM-RJ12X4 or ZL-CDM-RJ12X10)
provide an easy means to break out the RS-485 signal to several drives at one
location, which creates a star configuration. However, the transmission errors are
negligible, so this configuration is acceptable for proper operation of the VFDs.

Recommended RS-485 cable: Belden 9842 or equivalent.
Termination Resistors are required on both ends of RS-485 networks; especially on long
runs.
Select resistors that match the impedance rating of the cable (between 100 and 500
Ω
).
