Star structure via DIN rail connector and RS-485 interface
Figure 1-8
Star structure, RS-485
The devices are connected via the DIN rail connector (T-BUS) in the head station.
The DIN rail connector supports RS-485. It can not be used with RS-232 and RS-422.
In order to configure a star structure, you must create several line structures.
In the example, you need to create two line structures, each consisting of three devices.
Figure 1-9
Example for a star structure (RS-485 interface on all devices)
In principle, a star structure via the DIN rail connector can only be used in combination
with the RS-485 interface.
Make sure that
all devices connected via the DIN rail connector (T-BUS) use the
same serial data rates
