RS485 wiring
The wiring of the RS485 communication should be provided in such a way that the following rules are observed:
Note: A termination resistor at the RS485 (120Ω) is already implemented on the PCB. For connecting, close
the jumper near the appropriate RS485 terminal.
Standard maximum bus length is 1000 m.
Shielded cable

has to be used, shielding has to be connected to the terminal T01 (Grounding).
External units can be connected on the RS485 line in any order, but keeping line arrangement (no tails, no
star) is necessary.
The line has to be terminated by 120 Ohm resistors at both ends.
