general example for MODBUS device connection
The data line must be connected 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.
Example for MODBUS connection
Recommended wire types
1. CAT5 / CAT7 cables
2. J-Y (St) 2x2x0.6 (telephone wire)
3. AWG22 (2x2 twisted pair)
When using telephone
fl
ex with four cable cores, we recommend the following allocation:
“
A (D+)
”
= red,
“
B (D-)
”
= black,
“
GND
”
= white
Information
•
Pay attention to suf
fi
cient distance from powerlines and motor wires (min. 20 cm).
•
Except the data link "A (D+)", "B (D-)" and "GND"- connection may no further cable cores of the data
line be used.
•
Max allowed wire length 1000 m (CAT5/7 500 m).
Shielding
The use of shielded cables is normally not demanded but offers high protection against electro-
magnetic interferences, especially high frequencies. However, the effectiveness of the shield depends
on careful installation of the line.
If shielded cables are used, the shield should be placed at
“
PE
”
on at least one side (preferably on the
master connection). The occurrence of compensating currents may have to be considered if the shield
is contacted on both sides.
