Programmable Control System
4.0 SYSTEM WIRING
4.1 RJ45 cabling configuration for connection between the A 6500 Wall Plate and the A 6505
Serial Hub (586A ‘Straight through’)
Components are connected using “pin to pin” configuration RJ45 data cabling as shown in fig 4.1. When installing ensure
all connections are verified with a LAN cable tester before switching any system component on.
Failure to follow the correct wiring configuration may result in damage to system components.

4.2 Serial wiring
RS232 Serial wiring from the Redback® A 6505 Serial Hub to the Redback® A 6510 or the Redback® A 6515
The RS232 control cabling requires only two connections from the output of the A 6505 Serial Hub to the input connector
of the A 6510 or A 6515. The TX pin of the A 6505 is connected to the RX connection of the A 6510 or A 6515, and the
GND terminals are connected together.
RS232 Serial wiring from Third Party Device to Redback® A 6510 or the Redback® A 6515
The RS232 control cabling requires only two connections from the output of the third party device to the input connector
of the A 6510 or A 6515. The TX pin of the output device is connected to the RX connection of the A 6510 or A 6515,
and the GND terminals are connected together.
RS485 Serial wiring from the Redback® A 6505 Serial Hub to the Redback® A 6510 or the Redback® A 6515
The RS485 control cabling requires three connections from the output of the A 6505 Serial Hub to the input connector of
the A 6510 or A 6515. The “A” connection of the A 6505 is connected to the “A” connection of the A 6510 or A 6515,
the “B” connection of the A 6505 is connected to the “B” connection of the A 6510 or A 6515 and the GND terminals
are connected together.
RS485 Serial wiring from Third Party Device to Redback® A 6510 or the Redback® A 6515
The RS485 control cabling requires three connections from the output of the third party device to the input connector of
the A 6510 or A 6515. The “A” pin of the output device is connected to the “A” connection of the A 6510 or A 6515,
the “B” pin of the output device is connected to the “B” connection of the A 6510 or A 6515, and the GND terminals are
connected together.
