5.3 Expansion module MAC00-B41
5.3.8 RS485 - General description when using a MAC00-Bx module
The RS485 offers more noise-
immune communication com
-
pared to the RS232 interface.
Up to 32 motors can be con-
nected to the same line.
The RS485 interface in the
MAC00-B41 module is gal
-
vanic isolated.
When connecting the RS485
interface to a central control
-
ler, the following rules must
be followed:
1: Use twisted-pair cable
2: Use shielded cable
3: Ensure that GND is also
connected.
4: Ensure that all units have a
proper connection to safety
ground (earth) in order to re
-
fer to the same potential.
5: The last unit in each end of
the network must be termi
-
nated. Note that the B1, B2
and B4, B41 modules all con
-
tain a termination resistor
which can be activated.
6: Ensure that the supply lines
are connected individually in
order to minimise the voltage
drop between the motors.
7: Master Controller RS485
interface:
If available, it is strongly rec-
ommended a type with opti-
cal isolation is used.
Connectors:
To see the specific connector
pin-out please see the chapter
Expansion MAC00-B41 con-
nector description, page 169.
A finished RS485 cable also
exist. Please see
Cables for the
MAC00-B41, page 171
