Setting the EOL termination DIP switches
It is important to terminate the Modbus RS 485 line correctly at the start and end of the bus
segment since impedance mismatch results in reflections on the line which can cause faulty
communication transmission.
If the device is at the end of the bus segment, it is recommended to terminate the device as
shown in System configurations (Page 43). The table below shows the relation between the
DIP switch settings and the permissible communication interface set-ups. Default
configuration is EOL active.
Location of DIP switch
The DIP switch is located in the electronic as shown below.
