W-3: Com Port 3 Wiring
Com Port 3 supports 2-wire RS-485.
Wiring Strategy
You need to connect all + signal terminals in the network together. You will also need to
connect all – signal terminals together. It is optional to connect the logic ground.
NOTE: The resistance of the termination resistors needs to match the impedance of the communication
cable.
Add a termination
resistor between the
+ and – terminals on
the last device.
RS-485
Add a termination resistor between
the + and – terminals on Port 3.
