REMOTE COMMUNICATIONS, cont.
6.5.2 RS-485/Modbus, cont.
All wiring between the converter’s RS-232C port and the Modbus Option converter/optical-
isolator is included and wired at the factory. RS-485 bus wiring between a master converter and
slave converter(s) and ultimately to the customer side connections is the responsibility of the
customer. Such wiring should be shielded as depicted in Figure 8 on the previous page.
Each converter/optical-isolator contains terminating jumpers used to link the T1 and T2
terminals to the B and A terminals, respectively, and provide internal terminating resistances.
Install such jumpers as indicated in Figure 8 at the first and last device in daisy-chained RS-485
bus, but remove the jumpers for any intermediately connected devices.
A master converter’s Node Id is factory set for 3; a slave converter’s is set for 4. These are the
default values for communication with ASEA Power Systems designed Touch Panel computers.
Additional slave converters can be set for Node Id numbers greater than 4 (5-8 recommended).
As ASEA Power Systems uses Node Id numbers 9-13 for GMM products, use of these should be
avoided.
