Figure 3-13. Turning On/Off the Bias Jumper Connectors
Figure 3-14 shows a modified network structure using a null modem. This structure is another
alternative to the network structure in Figure 3-11.
Figure 3-14. Alternative Network Structure with a Null Modem
In this network structure using a null modem, the sections using the RS 485 are isolated so the bias
resistor can remain turned on for all the DCS units. However, a null modem cable (not included) is
needed to swap the transmit and receive when running from the RS 232 of a DCS to the RS 232 of
another DCS.
