2.2) Field device connections
The unit has 1 RS485 data bus to which 8 gas detectors can be connected
The gas detectors are connected through the serial bus (directly in the serial RS485 if equipped
with serial output or through 1 module with 8 STG/IN8 S inputs if of type 4-20 mA) and the
ST.G/OUT16-S output module
The maximum length of each serial data bus is 800 m.
To connect devices, 4 conductors are required (intended both as detectors with a serial output as
well as IN and OUT modules): 2 for the RS485 serial bus and two for powering the devices. For
this reason, two different wires must be used or a single wire that has suitable characteristics, as
described below.
