Description
1
RS-485 port A (COM1) is often used to support a trunk of LP-FXRIO16-0 modules. Do
not mix LP-FXRIO16-0 modules with other types of RS-485 devices on the same RS-485
trunk.
2
RS-485 port B (COM2) supporting a network of other field devices using RS-485 field
communication.
3
RS-485 devices on the same network should use the same protocol and baud rate. Up
to 32 or more devices may be supported depending on device specifications.
RS-485 bias switches
Each RS-485 port has an adjacent 3-position biasing switch, with these settings:
•
BIA
