termination resistor selection
By default, the RS485
termination resistor is
disabled. To enable the RS485
termination resistor, set pins 1
and 2 to ON.

3.3.2 CAN Communication Wiring
CAN Communication with the PLC
The CAN bus has two RJ45 network ports on the power supply unit. Use the Cat 5e
shielded network cable and connect a 120 Ω termination resistor at both ends of the
bus to prevent CAN signals from reflecting.
