ATTACH RS-485 COMMUNICATION WIRES TO THE MS/TP SUBNET PORT
Wiring the RS-485 network involves connecting the A+ (95) and B- (96) terminals in a daisy-chained
configuration. One end of the network will be connected to the Fieldbus of the Network-level controller or
BACnet® router. At the other end of the network, the last device must be “terminated” by either installing a
100 Ω … 120 Ω resistor or, if the last device is a MATRIX-2, users can switch the MS/TP Subnet terminator
switch (located beside the MS/TP port) towards the
icon. This will effectively terminate the network.
The shield (screen) must be carried through the entire network, and must be grounded at one point on the
network as shown below:
