RS-485 Connection
Note 1. The communications configuration is a one-to-one configuration or a one-to-N configuration. In the
one-to-N configuration, up to 32 units including the Serial Communications Unit/Board can be con-
nected.
2. The maximum cable length is 500 m. Use a shielded twisted-pair cable for the cable (AWG28i or
greater).
3. Connect a terminator only at both ends of the transmission path. For instance, in the example shown
below, connect a terminator to the Serial Communications Unit/Board and unit No. 30 and do not con-
nect any terminator to units No. 0 to No. 29. Use a resistance of 120
Ω (1/2 W) for the terminators
(the total resistance of both ends must be 54
Ω or more).
