bus
The devices with a Modbus interface do not have analog and switch outputs.
The replacement board is equipped with a 5-pin M12 flange connector for the
Modbus input and with a 5-pin M12 flange socket for the Modbus output.
The DE90 is usually connected to the Modbus RTU network as a so-called
slave to the Modbus RTU network. Up to 247 devices can be addressed in one
line network.
NOTICE! Star-shaped networks are not allowed.

Communication is effected solely with the Modbus master. The connected
slaves only react to direct commands from the master, which is why communic-
ation between the slaves is not possible.
To guarantee fault-free data transmission, we recommend terminating the end
point of the Modbus RTU network with a 120 Ω resistor. This bus termination
resistance is available as an accessory.
3.4.3.1 Connection to an existing Modbus RTU network
It can be connected to an existing Modbus network via a conventional T-piece
(passive TAP).
