Serial ONE BMS 1 Serial Card 1 • Not integrated on main
• HW driver: not featured
• Allows all the pCO family optional BMS cards to be used
• Maximum cable lenght: refer to technical leaflet of the serial card
Serial TWO Opto-isolated
FIELD Bus
J8 • Integrated on main board
• Opto-isolated serial
• HW driver: opto-isolated RS485
• 3-pin plug-in connector p. 3.81
• Maximum lenght of shielded cable AWG20/22: 500 m:
tLAN J6/J7
Instead of the FieldBus serial, the following can be used:
• tLAN serial available on a 2-pin connector, p. 3.81 (J7)
• connection to a PLD terminal available via special 4-pin connector (J6)
• J7: maximum lenght of shielded cable (2 wires + shield) AWG20/22: 30 m
• J6: maximum lenght of 4-wires cable (see accessories table): 2 m for domestic
application, 10 m for residential application
Tab. 2.b
Note:
Use only STP or S/UTP cable with both extremity of shield connected to PE (see par. “Electrical connections“).
• The serial 2 has been designed to be MASTER. This implicates that possible pCO compact SLAVEs, can not be connected
using his own serial 2. Nevertheless it is possible connect only one pCO compact using his own serial 2.
