Note:
*1 When this product is added to the system, please match the wiring to the existing method of
the system.
*2 When using an FX
2N
-485-BD with this wiring method, remember to take account of/or ignore
the “echo” of the commands sent from the FX
2N
programmable controller.
*3 Please use the FX
2N
programmable controller and FX
2N
-485-BD together.
Full-duplex combination cannot be achieved with other configurations.
*4 For wiring parallel link, see section 2.4.
3.3.2 Terminal Resistor
A terminal resistor must be used at both ends of the communication line as described in section
2.3.3 and 2.3.4.

1 )In the case of two-pair wiring, connect the terminal resistor
(330
Ω
, 1/4W) between terminals SDA and SDB and between
terminals RDA and RDB. Use the resistors offered as
accessories with the product.
2 )In the case of one-pair wiring, connect the terminal resistor
(110
Ω
, 1/2W) between terminals RDA and RDB. Use the
resistors offered as accessories with the product.
