Serial Interface A-B
The following figure shows the connections of the serial interface and the position of the 
micro-switch for the bus termination resistor.
Connection Terminals of the Serial Interface and Microswitch S4 
(Bus Terminating Resistor)
The two control signal terminals A and B enable the connection of a shielded RS485 
twisted-pair cable.
The bus terminating resistor required at the end of a data cable is integrated in the frequency 
inverter and can be connected via microswitch S4.
The network cable must have a bus termination resistor (120 ohms) connected at each 
physical end to prevent reflections and the resulting transmission faults.

(Slave = M-Max Frequency Inverter)
The parameter definition of the serial interface is described in “Serial Interface 
(Modbus RTU)” on Page 131.
