2.3 RS485 Interface (COM1)
The 2-wire RS485 communication port is located on the rear of the relay and can be connected using a suitable
RS485 120 Ohm screened twisted pair cable.
The RS485 electrical connection can be used in a single or multi-drop configuration. The RS485 master must support
and use the Auto Device Enable (ADE) feature. The last device in the connection must be terminated correctly in
accordance with the master device driving the connection. This can be done via the internal 120 ohm terminating
resistor, which can be connected between 14 (A) and 18 (B) by fitting an external wire loop between terminals 18
and 20 on the power supply module.
The maximum number of relays that can be connected to the bus is 64.
The RS485 data comms link will be broken for that particular relay element if it is withdrawn from the case but the
chain of communication to the other relays is maintained.
The following settings, on the COMMUNICATIONS MENU, must be configured when using the RS485 interface.
