S600+ Instruction Manual
Revised July-2017 CPU Module 3-7
The maximum cable length is a function of the baud rate and quality of
cable used. For example, a maximum length of 15 m (50 ft) should be
used at 19200 bps when using unscreened cable.
Connect ports to the peripheral devices using multi-conductor, shielded
cable not longer than 8 meters (approx. 25 feet). We recommended
(especially in noisy environments) that you connect the cable screen to
protective earth to keep the signal ground separate.
3.3.2 RS-422/RS-485 Multi-drop Port
The CPU module provides three RS-422 or RS-485 ports, labeled
COM5, COM6, and COM7. These provide high speed/long distance
links of up to 57600 bps and 1200 m (4000 ft). The ports use the
connector labeled TB-2. Table 3-5 shows the COM5, COM6, and
COM7 pin connections.
Note: Jumpers on the enhanced CPU module now provide RS-485
linking, so that wire linking is no longer necessary. If the cable
is already linked (as in an upgrade), you do not need to remove
the linked pairs.

3.3.3 Ethernet LAN Ports
The CPU module provides two Ethernet ports – NTWK1 and NTWK2
– for high-speed communications using an Ethernet Local Area
Network (LAN) architecture. The speed of data transfer is 100Mb full
duplex when using 100BASE-T twisted pair cable.
These ports use a FCC-68 RJ-45 connector. No hardware configuration
or wiring is required for these communications ports.
The second generation S600+ CPU module has two Ethernet ports,
ENET0 and ENET1. To correctly route messages to each network, set
the third octet of the IP address of the ENET1 port to a different value
than for the ENET0 port. For example, if the IP address for ENET0 is
129.76.69.74, set the third octet of the second Ethernet port to a
different value, such as 129.76.70.74. This correctly routes incoming
messages to the relevant host port.
