Communications Installation - Connecting the Operator Interface to the Controller

Connecting the Operator Interface to the Controller
Using parts in Table 18 connect the Operator Interface to the RS-485 port on the controller for legacy
systems. For new systems, the parts in Table 18 connect to either of the two RS-485 ports on the controller.
See page 35 for port location. Typically, the cable that interconnects this port to the Operator Interface must
be made during installation, because it will probably be necessary to run the cable through conduit.
On C75 connect cable from each CPU’s RS-485 port to the Operator Interface. See Operator Interface
manual #51-52-25-108 for connection details.
