* If a PLC type or port is not listed in this chart, it cannot function as a Modbus RTU master.
** Requires RS-232–RS-485 converter & generic cabling options described later in this chapter.
*** Termination resistors not required due to short cable length.
In addition to these GS-specific cables, the ZIPLink product line also includes other components which can be
useful for Modbus wiring. Refer to Ch5 “GS1 Modbus Communications” for more information.
