1.
Strip the insulation from the bus cable (at least
two wires), insert the bare wires into the terminals
and tighten the screws by hand.
Make sure that the polarity of the conductor pairs
is correct. Incorrect polarity will result in inverted
data signals and hence communication errors.
2.
Fix the bus cables to the casing using the wire
clamping bracket.
3.
Connect the shield to the SH terminals.
Note:
Within a chain (channel) connect the shield
only at one point to the earth. Earthing the shield
at every controller will lead to voltage distur-
bances.
4.
To avoid cable reflections, network segments must
be terminated at both ends with 120 Ω bus ter-
minal resistors. Alternatively, the terminal resistors
can be enabled or disabled on the PCB.
Recommended bus cables
Twisted Pair, e.g. JY(St)Y 2 × 2 × 0.8 (use only twisted
pair for B+ and A-)
Hardware configuration
Before you use a BACnet MS/TP or Modbus RTU inter-
face card, you have to configure it to the actual applica-
tion. To do so, use the switches on the interface card.

②
Rotary switch for setting the network address
③
DIP switch for setting the communication parame-
ters
④
BUSY-LED (green): On = supply voltage OK,
blinking = communication in progress
⑤
ERROR-LED (red): On = communication error
Setting the protocol type
Use the slide switch (Fig. 13/1) to set the BACnet
MS/TP or Modbus RTU protocol.
Setting the network address
Use the two address code switches X and Y (Fig. 13/2)
to set a network address (01 to 99). Address 00 is
reserved for broadcast mode. A maximum of 32 control-
lers (network addresses) can be operated on one net-
work segment. Each device requires a different network
address.
