Warnings For The Realization Of Network Rs-485
•
Perform all installation and maintenance work with the unit switched off;
•
Use shielded wires for serial connections: 2 wires + shield; do not make star
connections (use chain connections);
•
Connect the shield to the GND clamp and insert the two termination resistors of 120
ohm ¼ Watt at the ends of the network (resistors are not supplied);
•
The length and section of the wires must comply with the table below;
•
We recommend the heading of the conductors with terminal pins of appropriate section
to avoid possible short-circuits in the various conductors.
Characteristics Of The Serial Cable To Be Used
•
Cable impedance: 120 Ohm (indispensable characteristic)
•
Capacitance: approximately 40 pf/m (optional characteristic)
•
Signal propagation time: 5 ns/m (optional characteristic)
•
A table is shown below with suggested shielded cables depending on the various installations.
The Belden codes shown here comply with all the required specifications; cables produced by
other manufacturers can be used provided they comply with the specifications shown below.

(*) Suggested type of shielded cable
Depending on the presumed length of the network, you may use cable of a lesser section. For
example, for a maximum length of 300 m, an AWG 22 cable is sufficient.
