EAGLE CONTROLLER – INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING INSTRUCTIONS
EN1Z-0970GE51 R0918 30
Connecting RS485-2 to BACnet MS/TP Buses
With regards to Fig. 45 and Fig. 46, please note the following:
NOTE: Always power each EAGLE and the connected BACnet MS/TP modules via separate transformers.
NOTE: For "L," see section "RS485 Standard" on pg. 9.
NOTE: If any of the devices are electrically isolated, it is recommended that those devices be connected to signal ground.
See section "RS485 Standard" on pg. 9.
NOTE: Between devices equipped with non-isolated RS485 bus interfaces, potential differences of max. ±7 V are allowed.
Further, this bus should not extend beyond a single building.
