Fig. 4. Star type connection of devices with 4-wires RS485 interface to main 4-wires RS485 bus. Device separation from main
4-wires bus, extending the main bus by a further segments of 1200m, signal amplification, possibility of connection
additional 64 devices.
3.2.2. STAR TYPE CONNECTION FOR 2-WIRE RS485 BUS – CONFIGURATION OF 4-PORT
RS485-OUT
Using the ADA-4044H configured for operating with 4-port, 2-wire RS485 (the microswitch RS-485 PORT in position 2W), it's possible
to:
- connect up to 64 devices with 4-wire RS485 interface in 'star',
- extend the main bus by a further segments of 1200m,
- separate other segments of bus from main network – what increases the operational reliability,
- amplify the RS485 signal.
During the connecting, pay attention to the proper implementation of the connection according to the following drawings.
