1:N RS-485 Connection Example Using RS-422A/485 Port
Note Be sure to connect terminating resistance of between 100 and 125 Ω (1/2 W)
to the terminals of the remote devices at either end of the RS-422A/485 trans-
mission path. (Set the terminating resistance on the Board/Unit by turning
ON/OFF the Terminating Resistance Switch.)
6-5-4 Converting FINS to Modbus-RTU
Modbus-RTU Slave-compatible devices (including OMRON Inverters) con-
nected serially to a PLC via Modbus-RTU can be accessed from the PLC or
PT using Modbus-RTU commands enclosed in FINS messages.
• Sent FINS message: FINS header + FINS command code 2804 hex +
Modbus-RTU command
• Message after conversion: Modbus-RTU command
