8.6
Galvanic Isolation
There is no galvanic isolation on any part of the HMI panel.
8.7
Cable and Bus Termination RS485
•
If maximum transfer distance and maximum transfer speed is needed, shielded and twisted pair
cable should be used. The mutual capacitance may not exceed 52.5 pF/m, and the cable area
should be at least 0.25 mm
2
(AWG 24).
•
0 V, the reference voltage for communication should be included in the cabling. With two-way
communication use two pairs; one pair for communication and one pair for 0 V.
•
The shield must be grounded at one end. The other end is usually grounded, but with longer
distances or when there is a difference in the ground potential, the shield should be connected
to the ground via 0.1 µF/250 V plastic capacitor to prevent ground current in the braided shield.
A number of manufacturers recommend that the shield be grounded at each node. Various
manufacturers have different systems for bus termination.
Depending on the recipients’ design, the bus wires may be on the same level or require pull-up or
pull-down to ensure that no faulty signals are detected when the bus is in resting mode (all transmitters
are disconnected).
