4.4.2 Host connection: Modbus Serial, EIA/TIA-485 (RS485)
Two-Wire Modbus Definition
As described in the “Modbus over serial line specification and implementation guide V1.02”
published by the Modbus-IDA organisation (www.modbus.org) and based upon the EIA/TIA-485-
A physical layer specification.
Modbus two-wire serial requires the following four electrical connections between each of the
devices on the bus:
Additional EIA/TIA-485 bus settings
• Bus biasing resistors (must be present a one point on the bus) (software selectable inside NXA822)
• Bus termination resistor (must be present a each end of the bus) (software selectable inside
NXA822)
