The connections for MODBUS
“
A (D+)
”
,
“
B (D-)
”
and
“
GND
”
are available double on the module and
are connected with each other internally.
Information
•
You must ensure correct connection; i.e.
“
A (D+)
”
must also be connected on the
following devices to
“
A (D+)
”
. The same applies to
“
B (D-)
”
.
•
In addition, a "GND" connection must be established, as dissimilar potential (over 10
V!) will lead to the destruction of the RS-485 interface (e.g. lightning).
•
Except the data link
“
A (D+)
”
,
“
B (D-)
”
and
“
GND
”
(for automatic addressing additional
“
ID1
”
-
“
ID2
”
see following chapter) no further cable cores of the data line may be used.
•
Pay attention to suf
fi
cient distance from powerlines and motor wires (min. 20 cm).
•
A maximum of 64 participants can be directly connected to one another, and a further
63 participants via a repeater. To support automatic addressing the repeater type Z-G-
1NE is available.

The data line must be conducted from one device
to the next. No other type of wiring is allowed!
Always use only two wires of one lead (twisted
pair) for the connection.
Recommended wire types
1. CAT5 / CAT7 cables
2. J-Y (St) 2x2x0.6 (telephone cable)
3. AWG22 (2x2 twisted pair)
Max allowed wire length 1000 m (CAT5/7 500 m).
Shielding
The use of shielded cables is normally not needed but offers high protection against
electromagnetic interferences, especially high frequencies. However, the effectiveness
of the shield depends on careful installation of the line.
