EMC!
Install the input module and display card in an enclosure that gives protection against
electromagnetic interference.
Handle circuit boards with care during installation. Do not touch the circuit board or
components. Take anti-static precautions were necessary.
Connect RS-485 output to display card
Connect RS-485 output of input module to screw terminals on Regard rack
corresponding to position of 8-channel display card.
•
Use twisted-pair cable
•
Maximum length of connection is 1 km.
•
Ensure that 0V potential between input module and display card is less than ±5V. Use
RS-485 isolator(s) if necessary.
